Chip Conley

The Chip Conley keynotes explore the concept of happiness to better understand employees and customers.

Conley attended Stanford University, graduating in 1984 with his BA and MBA. He founded Joie de Vivre at the ripe age of 26, only three years after leaving school. He moved from CEO to Executive Chairman and Chief Creative Officer in 2010. He is still currently at this position at the firm.

He received acclaim as the 'Most Innovative CEO' in the Bay Area and wrote three books, one of his most recent being 'PEAK: How Great Companies Get Their Mojo from Maslow.'

Inspired by an employee who loved her job and whose infectious energy spread to customers, the Chip Conley keynotes stress the importance of making emotional connections in the vast business world.
