KEYNOTE SPEAKER
JAMES ELLIS
Before falling in love with the art and craft of employer branding, James Ellis was a digital marketer with 15 years experience learning how audiences think and behave online. Since then, he has taken those digital skills and become one of employer brand’s leading voices and practitioners.
In his career, James has developed and activated dozens of brands from companies of every size and shape like Disney, Target, Tradeshift, CNH Industrial, American Axle Manufacturing, Enova, QuEST Global, and many others. As an in-house practitioner, he transformed Groupon's employer brand, reaching Hired's list of strongest employer brands in Chicago after spending a surprisingly small amount of budget.
He has been referred to as both “the Alton Brown of employer brand” and “the Jim Cramer of employer brand”
James’ mission is to evolve the conversation around recruiting and hiring. In order to serve that mission to the widest possible audience and make that evolution accessible to any recruiter or marketer, he has hosted The Talent Cast podcast for more than three years, hosted the Employer Brand Headlines newsletter and written for a number of industry publications like RecruitingDaily, ERE, Indeed Blog, Recruitment Marketing Magazine,Talent Economy, The Chad and Cheese podcast, Marketing People podcast, Strong Suit podcast, and the Recruiting Future podcast. He has spoken at SHRM, MRA, Hired’s Roadshow, HireConf, Social Recruiting Strategies Conference, RecruitCon, and to multiple private clients. He was an inaugural member of the Talent Brand Alliance board.
He lives in Chicago with his wife and daughter. And yes, he would love another cup of coffee, thank you.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
We understand that safety is a top priority to our guests, as it is to Growth Dimensions. That is why we are implementing the following precautions to encourage adequate distancing and health safeguards.
Limit of 8 Persons per Table
We will place an emphasis of keeping businesses and organizations at their own tables and not mixing organizations, where possible. Extra spacing between tables will also be made, where possible.
Meal Serving
All meals will be served to individuals at the table by Hoffman House staff. The staff will adhere to all COVID-19 safety protocols. There is no buffet or food served away from tables.
Salad & Desserts at Table
There will be no shared space for salads or desserts. These will be pre-placed on each table.
Bar and Wine Table
While we do have a cash bar, we ask that guests refrain from gathering in a crowd and adhere to appropriate social distancing standards.
Wine for tables will be available in a space separated from the bar. Each table will be able to choose one bottle of wine for their table, which will be opened by a certified representative.
Masks & Sanitizer
In accordance to Illinois' mask mandate, guests will be asked to wear a mask when away from their designated tables. Growth Dimensions will provide masks at check-in to those who need one.
Hand sanitizer will be placed at the check-in area and throughout the room. We encourage individuals to be diligent about keeping their hands clean.
Symptoms?
If you are experiencing any COVID-like symptoms, we ask that you remain home and stay healthy. As much as you would be missed, keeping our friends, family and colleagues safe is of utmost importance.
