Latest Updates On MODEX
  
If there is any day that can top Day 1 at MODEX, it is Day 2. Today, there are so many options and so many opportunities. It is the perfect day to explore the expo floors, talk to the vendors and, when resting your feet, take in a couple of the 170+ education sessions. In addition, today we have Chief Medical Correspondent for CNN Dr. Sanjay Gupta as our keynote. He will be sharing insights about the pandemic and discussing ways to prepare for future health-related disruptions.

 

So, make sure your phone is charged, your walking shoes are on and you have a fresh pack of business cards, an old-fashioned or digital notebook and an open mind!

 

Also, don't forget to reference the MODEX 2022 Show Issue of MHI Solutions and the Expo Guide, both of which were created to help you customize your time at MODEX so your days are geared to what is most important to you.

“How we do business is as important as the business we do.” This concept and quote―by Erika Alexander, Chief Global Operations Officer for Marriott International, at the first of four MODEX 2022 keynotes―was an underlying theme behind many of the ideas and insights she shared on Monday morning. Alexander, “who is known for her authentic and inspirational leadership,” per moderator Katie Kirkpatrick of MetroAtlanta, repeated this idea a few times (as did MHI President Bryan Jensen in his closing remarks) to ensure the attendees understood its value and how its relationship impacts how Marriott does business and defines success.

The ongoing debate of the “proper role” for humans/people in the age of automation is not a clearcut one, but it does have some defined parameters when it comes to successfully merging the two and how to ensure your workforce is prepared to lead this partnership. But there is one monumental understanding that has to be accepted before it can be a beneficial relationship. “The success is going to come down to the people involved in the process,” explained Erik Nieves, founder and CEO of Plus One Robotics Inc., at a standing-room-only education seminar in the Emerging Leader Theater on Monday entitled: Humans Are the Loop—Workforce Development in the Age of Automation Hypergrowth.
