The pace of innovation is accelerating—and finance and insurance professionals are uniquely positioned to harness the power of artificial intelligence to drive growth, boost efficiency, and better protect their clients. Cyber Day is your chance to explore what’s next with the guidance of industry experts, technologists, and peers who are already putting AI into action.

This one-day, in-person event will feature insightful presentations, real-world tech demos, and a chance to connect with others navigating similar challenges in security, compliance, and customer service.

Dr. Shannon Sauer Zavala is an author, speaker, clinical psychologist, & scientific researcher. She specializes in helping people make intentional shifts to their personality traits to improve career performance, relationships, and mental health. Her research confirms what she saw in her own development and in her patients: People can intentionally shape the traits they need to be successful in the lives they want.

Participants will be asked to complete a Personality Compass Assessment in advance of the workshop and be prepared to discuss:

• How to start moving forward even if you don't know exactly where you're headed
• How self-limiting beliefs keep you stuck in a personality-type box
• How to embrace the person you want to be by ACTING like the person you want to be
• How to celebrate strong wins to keep yourself motivated
