Mr. Ain has put a laser focus on employee engagement as a growth strategy. Author of the award-winning book “WorkInspired: How to Build an Organization Where Everyone Loves to Work,” Ain will share some surprisingly simple rules you can follow to achieve success by focusing on your greatest asset – your people.

Attendees will hear about best practices such as:

• Trusting your people (again and again)
• Holding managers accountable for being great at what they do
• Overcommunicating
• Innovating everywhere
• Astonishing people with kindness in a caring and safe environment

The Eddies Awards Dinner will celebrate this year’s best and brightest innovators and announce the 2021 winners. A much anticipated, highly celebratory evening, The Eddies bring together the area’s ecosystem, offering networking opportunities galore and a great way to connect with ecosystem representatives over dinner and wine.
