Winning What's Next | Presented by Gusto | #ATLTechWeek

How do you build a career or business when the rules keep changing? 🤔

Layoffs, uncertainty, and the evolving landscape of automation are challenges everyone is facing in tech and beyond. This event isn't just a polished panel; it's a genuine conversation about the realities of building careers and businesses today.

Join Gusto's Jon Beckham (VP Engineering) and LaSalle Vaughn (Head of Compliance and Enterprise Risk Management) as they engage in an unscripted discussion moderated by Lawrenthia Usher. Expect two unique perspectives and an open floor for audience questions, making this as much your conversation as theirs.

Stick around afterward for two hours of open networking! Gusto's recruiting and GTM teams will be available for discussions. 🤝
