The Culture First Chicago Chapter is thrilled to host an in-person gathering featuring an engaging panel including Craig Forman, former Lead People Scientist at Culture Amp and founding architect of the global Culture First community, Tushar Pandit, Chief People Officer of SPINS, and Teedra Bernard, former senior executive at TransUnion and Hewlett Packard, and an experienced leader in building high-performance cultures.

While Craig’s visit to Chicago sparked the idea, this event is about much more than one visit—it’s about bringing the local community together for a dynamic conversation that blends insight, action, and meaningful connection.

What’s Up With Culture? is both a question and a call to action. The way we work and lead is evolving fast—and this event is about how we show up and respond. Together, we’ll explore how employee listening, meaningful data, and intentional leadership can help us navigate change effectively and drive measurable impact on culture.

✨ What to Expect

• A panel conversation facilitated by Chapter Lead Alix Prassas, featuring local HR and culture leaders
• Dialogue around how to lead through complexity using data-driven, human-first practices
• Reflections from Craig, Tushar, and Teedra on listening strategy, leadership, and current trends in workplace culture.
• Light food and drinks
• Connection time with fellow people professionals, culture champions, and changemakers

Whether you’re building a culture strategy, shaping your next move, or just want to connect with others who care deeply about work and humanity—this event is for you!

Let’s explore what’s next for culture—and how we can lead the way, together.
