Keynote Speaker

Joe Mull, MEd, CSP, CSAE
Employee Commitment Expert, Author of Employalty

Joe Mull will deliver the 2026 Winter Insights Closing Keynote, "The Great Boss Factor." Amid shifting employee values, hybrid work, and the emergence of AI, a leader’s job has never been more challenging. Bosses shoulder the weight of managing competing personalities, navigating difficult conversations, building team cohesion, driving productivity, and so much more. What does it take to succeed in such a demanding work landscape? Mull will outline practical strategies to show exactly how to cultivate loyalty, ignite effort, and build people-first workplaces where both performance and morale flourish.

Frequently asked questions.

Affinity refers to the B-B-C model that allows product providers to partner with intermediary organizations to reach their customers.

The Affinity Market refers to a business strategy where specialized products or services are offered to a targeted group of consumers who share common interests, characteristics, or other affiliations.

The affinity market is made up of insurance providers, insurance brokers, and the firms that provide services to those firms. It also includes the customer (the C in B-B-C), which includes employers and their employees, professional associations and their members, banks and their customers, and any number of other consumer or business groups with affiliated members.

Establishing partnerships using an affinity model affords a company the opportunity to develop products, services, and often pricing specific to individual groups of consumers. In turn, the consumer group is more responsive to the products or services, often due to more relevant offerings, to more economical solutions and to learning from a trusted and existing relationship.
