What’s it called when more than 500 information services (I/S) associates come together virtually? MoO Conf — a day of learning and sharing the latest in tech innovation at Mutual of Omaha. (MoO Conf is short for Mutual of Omaha Conference).
After enjoying the collaboration from community tech conferences, Abby Jones, engineer III, brought the idea of an internal tech conference to the I/S networking and engagement team. Together the planning committee put together a vision of what the conference could look like.
“Everybody brought their own perspective, their own ideas,” Jones said. “It was such a group effort.”
Though the primary audience was I/S associates, anyone interested in tech was invited to join. Participants could choose from sessions across four tracks — technology, creative/maker, innovation and kitchen sink.
