Presenting: "Making Sense of the Money Stuff"
“Making Sense of the Money Stuff: What HR Needs to Know Now”
In a year where markets swing, employees panic‑check their 401(k)s, and compensation expectations seem to rise faster than grocery prices, HR leaders are being asked to translate the financial world like never before. Join Amanda for a fast‑moving, practical, and surprisingly fun walk through the economic trends shaping today’s workplace.
You’ll get clear, usable insights on market behavior, inflation, wage pressure, retirement plan updates, deferred compensation, and the financial stressors your employees are carrying into work. Expect real stories, relatable humor, and plain‑English explanations you can take straight back to your teams.
If you want to understand what’s happening, why it matters, and how to communicate it without sounding like a CNBC anchor, this session is for you.

Nick Combs, CSP
Presenting: "Safety Update: Same Hazards. New Spotlight"
Workplace Safety, Public Trust, and the 2027 Enforcement Outlook
Workplace safety is no longer only a compliance issue managed behind closed doors. Employee reviews, social media, public injury data, news coverage, and corporate responsibility reporting increasingly shape how organizations are viewed by employees, applicants, customers, business partners, regulators, and communities. This session examines how the safety landscape is changing, what OSHA and IOSHA enforcement trends may signal for 2027, and why HR leaders play a central role before, during, and after an incident. Attendees will leave with practical insights for protecting employees, strengthening organizational trust, and preparing before the spotlight arrives.
Nick Combs is a Certified Safety Professional, Army veteran, and founder of SoIN Safety, where he helps employers close safety execution gaps before they become operational risks. His career spans nearly two decades of leading teams, developing people, and improving performance across military, public-sector, and private-sector environments. At one organization, Nick implemented a leading-indicator program that reduced recordable injuries by 40 percent by identifying and addressing risk before employees were hurt. He has trained hundreds of frontline leaders, supervisors, and managers in safety and organizational leadership, including designing and leading a weeklong development program for more than 150 emerging Army leaders. He also earned Commandant’s List honors for superior academic achievement at the Army’s Senior Leader Course. A direct and practical speaker, Nick challenges audiences to look beyond policies and compliance and examine what their systems, decisions, and daily behaviors reveal about leadership. He holds a bachelor’s degree in public health
