CHRIS CLEWS
Luncheon Keynote: Chris Clews
Chris Clews is a speaker and author of the book series What 80s Pop Culture Teaches Us About Today’s Workplace. Growing up in the 80’s and with over 20 years of experience in corporate marketing he knew two things very well – 80’s pop culture and business. So he combined the two. He’s spoken to a diverse set of organizations and companies, including Visa, DHL, University of Florida, UPenn Medicine, WIFS (Women in Insurance and Financial Services), DisruptHR and more. He's a frequent guest on podcasts with topics ranging from workplace culture to 80s pop culture and he has been referenced or interviewed in numerous publications such as Entrepreneur.com and Esquire UK magazine. He lives by the quote from the poet laureate Ferris Bueller, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop to look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
