Between emails\, virtual meetings\, slack\, social media\, it’s no wonder that burnout\, stress and loneliness are at all-time highs\, and trust is at an all-time low. \nInstead of hiring the latest strategic communications firm\, or spending countless hours learning how to train AI bots to communicate for you\, what if you could learn some simple and easy tools to implement immediately that would drive connection and results? \nResearch shows that laughter and levity are some of the most powerful ways to build meaningful connections\, increase trust\, reduce stress\, and enhance employee engagement and performance. \nIn this engaging and enlightening keynote\, veteran comedian Kate Davis demystifies what makes us laugh and provides practical techniques for using humour to truly make an impression whether it’s with clients\, customers\, co-workers\, family\, or friends. And if she makes you laugh in the process\, it was almost certainly on purpose. \nCompetency 6.0 \n \n\n\n \nMYLES SAM\nRATIONAL\nWork Smarter\, Not Harder:\nRethinking Foodservice Operations with Rational TechnologyHealthcare and long-term care foodservice teams are being asked to do more with less\, less time\, fewer staff\, and increasing expectations for quality\, consistency\, and resident satisfaction.

Sometimes\, we need to rethink how we work.This presentation explores practical ways to work smarter by looking at production methods\, workflow\, labour utilization\, and the strategic use of technology. Using real-world examples from healthcare and long-term care foodservice\, we will explore how Rational cooking technology can help teams simplify production\, improve consistency\, reduce manual tasks\, and make better use of their existing workforce.From batch cooking and cook-chill production to retherm and finishing\, we will look at how the right equipment\, combined with the right processes\, can create efficiencies without compromising food quality or the dining experience. \nThe goal is simple: not to work harder\, but to work smarter. \nCompetency 5.0 \n \n\n\n\n \nGAIDO GARCIA\nMEALSUITE \n\nHours to Minutes:\nAutomating Manual Work With Synergy Tech Suite\, Powered by AIFoodservice and Nutrition Managers are being asked to do more with less.

SUMMARY:CSNM Webinar: You're Not Behind (Yet): Smart\, Human Ways to Work with AI
DESCRIPTION:Date: November 3\, 2026 – 1:00 PM ET / 10:00 AM PT\nCE Point:  Competency 5.0 \nTitle:\n\nYou’re Not Behind (Yet): Smart\, Human Ways to Work with AI \nDescription:\nAI is already changing how work gets done. But how does it feel from where you’re sitting? Are you confidently experimenting\, cautiously curious\, or quietly wondering where to even start? If you’ve tried AI and the results felt generic\, if you don’t have time to figure it out\, or if you’re overwhelmed by the sheer number of tools out there – this talk is built around those exact problems. Margaux Miller is a global event host and MC who spends her career on stages alongside AI founders\, engineers\, and the people building this technology. She’s a solo business owner who uses AI tools every day to save time and run her business. In this keynote\, she shares what she’s learned from both worlds – the people building AI and the professionals actually using it – in a way that’s practical\, honest\, and immediately useful. Through live demonstrations\, real stories (including the time she literally shared a stage with an AI avatar in Dubai)\, and photo-worthy reference slides\, attendees will learn how to personalize AI so it actually sounds like them\, how to use it to clear busywork and be more present in their key work\, and how to match the right tool to the right task instead of asking one tool to do everything. No jargon. No hype. No pressure to become an “AI expert.” Just clear\, human guidance and a few tools you can try this week. \nWhat Attendees Will Take Away: \n\nHow to set up a personal “voice file” so AI tools actually reflect how you think\, write\, and communicate\nPractical prompting habits that work better than memorizing “magic prompts”\nWhat you need to know about AI safety and data privacy before putting anything into these tools\nA curated tool map matching specific tasks to specific tools – so you stop using ChatGPT for everything and start getting better results with less effort\nReal use cases for saving time right now\nA realistic “baby steps” framework for getting started\n\n\n\nPresenter: \n\n\n\nMargaux Miller\n\nMargaux Miller is a global MC and event host specializing in tech\, innovation\, and startup events. She’s hosted stages from GITEX Global in Dubai (the world’s largest tech event) to South Summit in Madrid and Brazil\, and has moderated conversations with leaders from OpenAI\, Google DeepMind\, and more. Her TEDx talk on human connection is a TED Editor’s Pick with 500K+ views. With 10+ years in the tech industry – including a startup acquisition and leading a global community of 20K+ freelancers across 140 countries as Global Director of Community at Toptal – Margaux brings both technical fluency and the ability to make complex ideas feel approachable and human.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
