SIG Summit Opening Keynote: Kevin Surace on How the Joy Success Cycle Improves the Workplace in an AI Revolution
Thursday, 30 July, 2026

AI is reshaping the workplace — and for most people, that shift brings equal parts excitement and fear. Kevin Surace, a Silicon Valley inventor with 94 worldwide patents and named CNBC's Top Innovator of the Decade, argues the two don't have to be at odds. Join Kevin at the SIG Global Executive Summit, taking place October 25–28 at Navy Pier in Chicago, as he introduces the Joy Success Cycle — a methodology built on the idea that joy isn't the reward for success, it's one of the forces that creates it. Kevin's keynote presentation will unpack how offloading joyless tasks to AI can free people up for the strategic, high-value work they actually love, and share practical tools for identifying "joy killers" and building more joy into everyday work. Attendees will leave with a new lens on AI: not as a threat to navigate, but as a force multiplier for the work — and the joy — that matters most.
