Gregg will help attendees increase employee motivation and engagement to increase the company’s profits.  In addition to Gregg’s keynote, he will also present a two-day workshop track.

Rick Mercer, who chronicles, satirizes, and ultimately celebrates all that is great and irreverent about Canada. A #1 bestselling author, Governor General’s Award-winner for  Lifetime Artistic Achievement, and “Canada’s Unofficial Opposition,” Rick is Canada’s most popular comic; a political satirist who knows exactly what matters to regular Canadians and what makes them laugh. Rick is the author of four national bestsellers: Rick Mercer Final Report, Streeters, The Rick Mercer Report: The Book, and 2012’s A Nation Worth Ranting About.

Rick will close the meeting with an informative, ironic, and hilarious presentation on the political climate and the ridiculous realities of politics.

Meeting workshops and general sessions will educate attendees on a variety of topics including; comparing and finding the best use for digital, flexo, and litho printing, marijuana in the workplace and other top HR issues impacting employers in both the U.S. and Canada, industry updates, and increasing profits through increased engagement and creating and sustaining a company culture.
