What can the fast-paced world of NASCAR pit crews teach us about collaboration in business? In this interactive keynote, Andy Papathanassiou—known as the father of the modern pit stop—shares powerful lessons on communication, resilience, and teamwork under pressure, brought to life through a live pit stop challenge.

You will find a 29-piece NASCAR model in your event bag and take on the thrill of two timed, 90-second pit stop challenges. Working hands-on to change the tires yourself, you’ll experience what it feels like to perform under pressure—and discover powerful lessons in communication, agility, and collaboration that you can bring back to your organization.

Rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and automation capabilities are poised to fundamentally reshape the way work gets done across organizations—including within the HR function. The world of work is no stranger to big changes ushered in by technology, but the breakthroughs of generative AI (GenAI) and, more recently, agentic AI are unprecedented in their impact to knowledge-based work. As a result, the core function and value proposition of HR teams of all shapes and sizes and across industries and sectors is on the brink of not just significant change but total reimagination.

Change is no longer a phase; it’s a constant. In today’s rapidly evolving world of work, organizations face mounting pressure to stay ahead of disruption while also staying grounded in what matters most: their people. In this dynamic panel discussion, Cornerstone’s GVP of Customer Success, Jamie Agnew, will moderate a conversation with industry leaders who are embracing workforce agility, skills development, AI, and leadership evolution through a human-centered lens.

Together, they’ll explore how their organizations are not just reacting to change but proactively designing for it. From cultivating future-ready talent to building resilient, people-first cultures, this session will offer real-world insights into what it takes to lead with intention and navigate transformation in a way that’s sustainable, strategic, and deeply human.

Close out the day by connecting with peers, Cornerstone leaders, and industry experts over drinks and light bites. This relaxed networking happy hour is the perfect opportunity to continue the day’s conversations, share insights, and build new relationships in a casual, social setting.
