2024 Expo: Hundreds gather for a day of education, networking
State Auditor DiZoglio, healthcare panelists call on audiences to join movements for change, greater transparency
There was a great energy in the air at the Boston Marriott Peabody as the crowd of business executives, young professionals, freelancers, and students listened to speakers, attended educational seminars and networked with North Shore business professionals.
The 2024 Expo kicked off with a Business Insight Breakfast Forum featuring a panel discussion tackling one of the most pressing issues facing employers today. Wellpoint General Manager David Morales moderated a riveting discussion that explored the important steps employers can take to make their voices heard in the critical debate on healthcare costs.
Panelists Eileen McAnneny, executive director the Employer Coalition on Health Care, Dr. Paul Hattis, health policy expert and senior fellow at the Lown Institute, and David Williams, president of Health Business Group, shared insight and resources on how the business community can change the narrative on healthcare.
The panelists urged audience members to take action and became part of the movement to alter the course. Join the Employer Coalition on Health Care, talk with your brokers to ensure you are getting the best prices, and communicate with your local legislators, they advised. Learn more about the steps employers can take here.
The Expo floor featured close to 70 exhibitors from around the North Shore. Vendors in all areas of business and industry showcased their products, services and resources.
Attendees were welcome to attend free seminars throughout the day, covering a wide variety of business-related topics. These informative sessions were offered by Chamber members who are leaders in their field.
Topics included the process of employing interns, office ergonomics, protecting your business from scams and frauds, streamlining HR workflows, maximizing your Chamber membership, and effective LinkedIn strategies.
Keynote luncheon speaker, State Auditor Diana DiZoglio, shared an update on issues her office is tackling during her first term. DiZoglio spoke candidly about her efforts to bring greater transparency and accessibility to all areas of state government, and the battle she is leading to bring a ballot question before November voters as to whether the Legislature should undergo an audit. The former state representative and state senator sparked dialogue as she shared the difficulties lawmakers face getting information from legislative leadership and the quick timeline they have to prepare for votes – in some cases, just mere minutes.
