The Culture First Chicago Chapter is thrilled to host an in-person gathering with special guest Craig Forman, former Lead People Scientist at Culture Amp and one of the founding architects of the global Culture First community. Now the founder of CultureC Consulting, Craig helps organizations listen at scale, make meaning of employee feedback, and take action to build stronger, more human-focused workplaces.

While Craig’s visit to Chicago inspired this event, the real goal is to bring the local community together for a conversation that blends insight with action.

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. We’ll explore how employee listening, meaningful data, and strong 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
• Reflections from Craig on listening strategy, leadership, and current trends in workplace culture
• Dialogue around how to lead through complexity using data-driven, human-first practices
• 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.
