Keynote Speaker Mike Maddock, CEO & Founding Partner, Maddock Douglas The Questions Disruptors Ask Themselves
Bruce Lee once said, “A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.”
Business Disruptors are often celebrated for their courage and vision, but Mike Maddock thinks that much of their success is rooted in the questions they ask themselves; questions that reveal new opportunities that the rest of us often miss.
This keynote presentation is based on Mike’s best-selling book Plan D. It is a highly entertaining talk that focuses on the unexpected, replicable and generative questions enlightened leaders learn to ask themselves and their teams.
Key takeaways include:
- How to ensure your leadership team is balanced
- How to uncover meaningful problems before you start generating ideas
- How to build a team that can create even in the most difficult circumstances

Speed Networking The CSIA Executive Conference has always provided members with an opportunity to network. Back this year by popular demand, SI and Partner members will be provided with a few minutes to introduce themselves, their companies (including areas of specialization) and share what they seek from this networking session. Some participants will seek potential suppliers of engineering or specialists (e.g. vision, motion, robotics) for specific projects. Others may seek collaboration opportunities to serve a client that is expanding outside of their covered geography. Some SIs may seek potential members for a new peer group. If this interests you, come and join this session and prepare and rehearse your elevator pitch as things will move very fast…

Keynote Speaker Alex Chausovksy, Miller Resource Group Economic and Labor Market Update
The US and Global economies are facing numerous headwinds, while the war for talent rages on across America. Some system integrator organizations are ill-prepared to handle these challenges, hampered by the uncertainty and beholden to the “we’ve always done it this way” mentality. Others are thriving, armed with analytical insights that empower them to outperform their competitors. This presentation will deliver practical and actionable advice designed to help business leaders plan for future economic conditions and elevate their organization's talent strategy.
