at stokerga.com. Well, we are just about a month away from the Manufacturing First Expo and Conference.
And on this week's podcast, we're excited to give our listeners a little preview of one of the 15 breakout sessions that will be offered October 28th at Rush Expo.
Chad DeSanto is the Senior Manager of Regional Risk and Safety at Spherion Staffing, which is one of our newest sponsors for this year's event, coming in at the gold level and presenting a breakout session that will be offered at the Rush as part of our Talent and Development Breakout Track.
Also joining us today is Natalie Walsh, Director of Revenue Operations for the company.
Yes, the breakout tracks are new this year, so I'm really excited about this new little twist we have after 16 years of doing this.
You can still attend any breakout session you want, but the content has been organized into tracks, including Talent and Development, People and Culture, Business, Growth, and Strategy, presented by Stoke RGA, Safety, Risk, and Compliance, presented by Acuity Insurance, and Technology and Innovation, presented by Bank of America.
With the new tracks, it might make it easier for companies sending their multiple employees or looking for content on a certain topic to plan out the day.
And you can read more about that in our October upcoming issue of Insight Magazine, where we have a full preview of Manufacturing First.
So Chad's presentation that'll be coming up October 28th, as we mentioned, is entitled Strengthening Safety Across Your Workforce, Practical Strategies for Today's Manufacturing Environment.
