Ragan Announces Keynote Lineup for Internal Communications Conference at Microsoft Headquarters
CHICAGO, IL — August 15, 2025 — Ragan Communications has announced the keynote lineup for its Internal Communications Conference, taking place October 14–16, 2025, at Microsoft’s headquarters in Redmond, WA. The three-day event will unite internal communication leaders, HR executives, and culture champions from top organizations to explore the future of employee engagement, AI integration, data-driven storytelling, and cross-generational connection.
Dawn Klinghoffer, Microsoft’s VP of HR Business Insights, will open with “Info We Trust! The Art of Turning People Data into Comms Gold.” She’ll share behind-the-scenes insights on how HR analytics—covering AI, inclusion, and career growth—can help communicators design messages that resonate, build credibility, and deliver measurable business impact.
Anna Liotta, Hall of Fame speaker and author of Unlocking Generational Codes, will take the stage with “Secrets of High-Touch Comms in the AI Age.” Drawing from her Five Generational Codes and neuroscience-backed techniques, she’ll show how to bridge generational divides, set human-in-the-loop guardrails for AI, and foster trust across the workforce.
The conference will close with “Locker Room Leadership: What Comms Can Learn from Sports to Rally the Workforce,” a fireside panel featuring leaders from the Seattle Kraken (NHL), Seattle Storm (WNBA), Seattle Mariners (MLB), and Bully Pulpit International. Panelists will reveal how game-day rituals, scoreboard-style recognition, and “fan-first” strategies can translate into thriving workplace cultures.
Alongside the keynotes, attendees will enjoy interactive workshops, networking opportunities, and case studies from global brands, all hosted at Microsoft’s cutting-edge campus in Redmond.
