CONNECT 2025 Opening Keynote:
Elevating Performance: Delivering Results in Times of Change

In this keynote, Christopher Ryan, Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer at Avionté, explores the forces reshaping staffing—AI, immigration policy, tariffs, and workforce strategies—and how Avionté is investing in technology to give agencies a competitive edge. He shares why the agency of the future will be a strategic workforce partner, powered by an AI-driven platform that improves efficiency and execution. Watch to discover Avionté’s vision for the future of staffing technology and how your agency can adapt, deliver more value, and thrive in this new era.
