From sizzle reels to keynote insights, it’s all about bringing energy and purpose into one room. Let’s dive into some behind-the-scenes glimpses from CultureCon’s co-founders and speakers, revealing how the event has grown, what makes them tick, and how they’re making workplace culture the best it can be.

How Has CultureCon Evolved from Its First Event to Now, and What Are You Most Excited About for CultureCon West?
From “Mini CultureCon” to a sold-out phenomenon, co-founder Zach Blumenfeld shared the remarkable journey of CultureCon’s growth. Starting with a modest goal of getting 50 attendees on Valentine’s Day during a blizzard in Madison, Wisconsin, CultureCon has evolved far beyond its beginnings.
“We actually had to expand the room size because we had over a hundred people show up,” Zach reminisced. That initial energy set the tone for what would eventually become an annual event cherished by hundreds. Today, it’s about scale, but more importantly, it’s about community. Zach is most excited for CultureCon West—not just for the flashy lights of Las Vegas, but for the energy of “so many like-minded individuals who are all passionate about making work more meaningful, fulfilling, and fun.”
What is the “Culture” of CultureCon, and How Will It Transform at CultureCon West?
The vibe? Silly, fun, and real. That’s how co-founder Nick Lombardino describes the spirit of CultureCon. He explained that the essence of CultureCon is built on community—and on being your authentic self. “We can confidently say the vibe of CultureCon is pretty silly and, dare I say, fun,” Nick noted. And that fun, according to him, isn’t just a gimmick; it’s what allows people to open up, to connect, and to truly bring their best ideas forward.
Nick emphasized that CultureCon is grounded in the belief that we all have the power to make work more meaningful—not just for ourselves but for our peers and organizations as a whole. “The conference is really grounded in connection because at the end of the day, it’s the connection that’s really gonna infuse this shared sense of accountability and the spirit to take action,” he added.
So, whether you’re coming for the keynotes, the panels, or just to make new friends, know this: CultureCon is all about the kind of connections that translate into real, meaningful change back at work.

Charlie Saffro, CEO of CS Recruiting, is here to redefine how we think about recruiting.

Her keynote will offer insights into small but meaningful actions that everyone can take, regardless of their position, to foster a culture where employees feel valued.
She pointed out, “Every single person at a company plays a role in creating the culture that they want to be a part of.” Get ready for actionable strategies and heartfelt lessons that can make a big difference—not just in someone’s career, but in their overall experience of work.
What is the Single Most Impactful Strategy to Enhance Your Talent Brand?
When it comes to talent brand, Charlie doesn’t mince words: it’s all about culture. She highlighted that the best leaders recognize that company culture is dynamic—it’s always evolving, just like the needs of the people who work there. “The best strategy a leader can have is awareness and intention,” she said. Leaders need to understand where their culture stands. Celebrate what’s working. Be ready to enhance or improve areas that need it.
Charlie challenged leaders to stay connected, intentional, and proactive in their approach. Her wisdom cuts through the fluff. She offers simple yet powerful guidance on how to keep a pulse on your culture and use it to build an attractive and resilient talent brand.
