CHI Health Center Omaha

COMING SOON:

The Greater Omaha Chamber is excited to invite you to its newest signature event, the POWER Conference. Focusing on People, Opportunity, Workforce, Excellence, and Retention, the POWER Conference combines the transformative work of the Conference on Opportunity, Diversity, and Equity and the HIRE Conference to create a one-of-a-kind experience.

Building on the foundation of the Conference on Opportunity, Diversity, and Equity, we believe it is important to broaden the conversation to address the entire talent lifecycle while maintaining a steadfast commitment to leveraging untapped talent pipelines and workplace opportunities in our community.

Workplace culture and talent strategies remain at the heart of The POWER Conference. Join us for dynamic sessions that blend thought leadership with actionable strategies, creating more people-centered workplaces.

As a leader in talent and culture, your work drives meaningful change that is essential to shaping a more collaborative future. The POWER Conference brings talent recruiters, HR professionals, and business leaders together to spark new ideas in an environment that provides practical tools to inspire organizational transformation and community impact.
