Join us for an engaging morning at our Culture First event on August 13th in Sarasota! We will hear from the happy culture teammates at the Observer Media Group, a growing print and online media company that publishes the Business Observer, Longboat Observer, East County Observer, and Sarasota Observer, among other publications. Business Observer Managing Editor Mark Gordon — who will be with the company for 20 years in September — will lead a panel discussion of two employees on the company’s recently reborn culture committee. We will talk about why OMG, and OMGers, as they are lovingly called, make up a sublime culture of high-performing teams in an industry where companies are cutting staff and culture has become an afterthought.

By attending this free event you will get:

• Breakfast — who doesn’t love breakfast?

• A chance to win a one-on-one session with the Business Observer’s social media guru.

• Insights into the why and how OMG, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2025, has created a coveted place for people to work.

• Learning how to have a culture impact no matter regardless of your formal title.

• Learn how to start your own culture committee.
