This dynamic session uses case studies drawn from the IEEE community to help you dramatically improve your ability to use hybrid work as an instrument to improve retention and productivity while cutting costs. Many leaders rely on traditional office-centric collaboration and leadership styles in managing hybrid teams. Yet research conclusively demonstrates that, instead of incrementally improving on the old-school office-centric approach, the best outcomes in managing hybrid teams come from adopting a flexible hybrid-first work model. Doing so results in much higher retention and productivity, reduces costs, and boosts engagement, innovation, collaboration, and risk mitigation. Through adopting hybrid work best practices based on this training, you will empower yourself and your team to maximize retention, productivity, and cost savings in our increasingly-disrupted future of work.All attendees will have an opportunity to receive a complimentary copy of the speaker's best-selling book on which this talk is based, called Returning to the Office and Leading Hybrid and Remote Teams.

CONSOL is one of the largest underground U.S. coal producers, located just south of Pittsburgh in Canonsburg, PA. Ironically, the transition to renewable energy sources like wind and solar energy rely heavily on coal as it will be a critical part of the steel and concrete used producing wind turbines, transmission lines and other items needed to get power to consumers. Plus, it will be much longer than people realize, if ever, that renewables can handle the baseload to meet our country’s energy needs. Coal currently represents 35% of the power produced in the world and approximately 15% in the United States. CONSOL created a public education campaign called Not So Fast that addresses this issue. It is fact-based (with references cited) and focuses on how the transition to renewables will be slower than most people think and may result in many unintended consequences. Coal will always be a viable and much-needed product. See www.thecoalhardtruth.com for more information about the campaign. Also, more than half of the coal that CONSOL produces is used for non-power generation uses like steel and concrete production, water filtration, fertilizer and many other products we all need in our daily lives. Through CONSOL Innovations, they have been working on numerous new products and solutions that are bringing coal to new commercial applications. These involve advanced carbon fibers for aerospace parts, building materials and even graphite to be used in EV batteries. Agenda: 11:30 AM - 2:00 PM Lunch will be provided.

As the demand for high-performance computing continues to surge, driven largely by advances in artificial intelligence and other data-intensive applications, the semiconductor industry faces growing challenges in meeting these requirements. Traditional approaches, constrained by the slowing of Moore’s Law and the end of Dennard Scaling, are proving inadequate in addressing the exponential increase in compute and bandwidth needs. Silicon Photonics is emerging as a key technology to overcome these limitations. By leveraging the unique properties of silicon for optical communication, Silicon Photonics can offer significant improvements in data transmission speeds and energy efficiency compared to conventional electrical interconnects. This technology has the potential to reduce latency and power consumption, making it a compelling solution for next-generation data centers and high-performance computing systems. Advanced Packaging Technologies are equally critical in this evolving landscape. As chips become more complex and power-hungry, innovative packaging solutions such as chiplets and advanced integration methods are essential to manage power consumption and thermal issues while enhancing performance. These technologies enable more efficient use of silicon area, improved thermal management, and higher bandwidth connections between components. In this talk, we will explore how Silicon Photonics and advanced packaging technologies are not just complementary but essential to addressing the challenges of future compute demands. We will discuss the current state of these technologies, their potential to transform the semiconductor industry, and the ongoing efforts to integrate them into scalable, high-performance systems Speaker(s): Sandeep Sane, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/433612
