Everyone in business aspires at engaging others at some point, internally or externally. In fact, engagement is so widely addressed that it’s becoming a big word that often means very little. So let’s define it meaningfully, by using science. What does it really take for the brain to be engaged?

An intriguing approach to understanding engagement is to view it from the angle of its absence. So what do we know about the psychology of boredom? Is it possible for the brain to be bored in the age of overstimulation? The answer is yes. As scientists, we used to believe that boredom was defined by the absence of stimulation. Now we are discovering that too much stimulation can have a similar effect. So how do we prevent the brain from getting bored – therefore staying engaged with your message and your cause? The good news is that the brain does not want to stay bored for too long. From an evolutionary point, we cannot afford to stay bored. This keynote offers three evidence-based, practical guidelines, which you can use immediately to create meaningful engagement for your internal and external audiences.

The friction between marketing and sales is real. A recent survey found nearly half of B2B marketers said their sales team doesn’t understand what is important to the marketing team, and 31% of B2B salespeople said their marketing team doesn't understand what’s important to the sales team.

Although sales and marketing serve different functions, it’s when they work together that companies see substantial improvement on important performance metrics: sales cycles are shorter, market entry costs decrease, and the cost of sales is lower. So how can these two teams stop battling and work better together?

Join Michael Collins CMO and Managing Director of CFA Institute for a fireside chat to understand how removing friction in favor of collaboration and staying laser-focused on customer needs and engagement can position for long-term marketing AND sales success.
