The Power of Collective Input: Setting the Stage from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. at MobCraft Beer

Before the conference begins, we’re gathering at MobCraft Beer to do what ELE does best: bring smart people into the same room around real work.

Side-by-side visual comparing MobCraft’s crowdsourced beer model — submit, vote, drink — with ELE’s community-sourced calendar model — submit, vote, schedule.

That’s the point of the May 20 jam. MobCraft gives us the perfect setting to kick off ELE’s community-sourced calendar model — where members bring real challenges, signal what matters, and help shape the live discussions that follow.

MobCraft is known for crowdsourced beer — submit, vote, drink. ELE is leaning into the same idea for people leaders: submit real challenges, vote on what matters, and shape the live discussions, Design Charrettes, and AI Practical Labs that follow.

This pre-conference jam is the informal working conversation before the main event. No slides. No speeches. Just trusted peers, practical signals, and a good Milwaukee room to start connecting the dots.

Bring a real challenge, a useful question, or simply your curiosity. The best ideas from conversations like this help shape what ELE brings into future live discussions, Design Charrettes, and AI Practical Labs.

What to expect

This is not a formal program. It is the informal working conversation before the main event.
We’ll use the room to compare notes on what people leaders are actually facing right now — AI adoption, frontline manager capability, change fatigue, leadership confidence, and the practical work of turning ideas into action.
Mike Hruska, creator of Baryons.AI, will be in the room as a strategic partner helping spark the conversation around AI-enabled manager support — what ELE has been calling “SuperManagers in my pocket.”

Who this is for

People leaders, HR/L&D leaders, business leaders, partners, and conference participants who want to start the Milwaukee experience with practical conversation
