Nate Yohannes, product and strategy leader to the chief technology officer at Microsoft and former senior advisor to the Obama administration, opened the conference with a discussion about the societal responsibilities technology providers must take when employing AI technology.
Daniel Pink, human motivation researcher and No. 1 New York Times bestselling author, capped off the day with a keynote address broadcast from Seneca One in Buffalo on the science of timing—how to use the hidden patterns of the day to build the ideal schedule, why and how to take breaks, taking advantage of fresh starts, when to quit a job, switch careers and more.
“Dan Pink and all the speakers shared timely insights and thought-provoking content on the future of leadership,” says Sudha Bommidi, executive director of clinical operations at Roswell Park, who attended the conference. “The virtual platform was seamless and provided many opportunities for networking and getting to know the attendees.”

The event was sponsored by KeyBank, The Martin Group, Rich Products, Seneca One and the UB School of Management Alumni Association, and built upon the success of previous CLOE conferences, which have offered opportunities to learn about building inclusiveness, the power of people-oriented leadership, social innovation and entrepreneurship, emerging research and how to put that research into practice, and new ways to build collaborations and relationships.
Since 2013, CLOE has created more effective leaders and organizations by advancing research, education and outreach in leadership and organizational development. CLOE also supports UB’s goals of accelerating academic excellence, translating scholarship and developing leadership capabilities in UB students and business leaders.
