The following new additions are being made to this year’s BPC Orlando:
The Affinity Group Luncheon: It’s co-hosted this year by the Pride Affinity Group led by APMP Board member Heather Finch, CP APMP. It’s our chance to recognize the great work from the Affinity Groups, their chairs, and participants.
Plenary Sessions: Past attendees asked for fewer Keynotes and more education. We’re featuring Connie Podesta as our day one Keynote speakers. Day two and three will feature two plenary sessions.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Mania: As AI and ChatGPT explodes across the business world, APMP‘s BPC features six sessions, including a Fireside Chat. AI will dominate the BPC 2023 conversation for years to come.
Shhhhhh!: Like Amtrak’s infamous quiet rail cars, APMP’s BPC will feature a Quiet Room this year presented by the Mental Health Affinity Group. This is the one room where no talking is allowed and is a place in the middle of the conference to find a silent oasis.

During the one-day workshop, Paul Dykes introduced various interactive group exercises to help explore how harnessing The Power Of How? can guide us on our journey through imposter syndrome.
As an icebreaker exercise, we were all asked to stand in a line on one side of the room and take a step forward for each described scenario we have personally faced. The result? We realised that we had a lot in common with the other unfamiliar faces in the room – we were all affected by Imposter Syndrome in one way or another. READ MORE
