| 10 am | Accelerating Time to Productivity with New HiresBased on a recent survey, improving new hire onboarding is the number one learning and development focus for manufacturers this year.

In this session, we invite Milwaukee Tools to share their experience using Poka to accelerate time to productivity for their new hires. | Ryan Heiar | Milwaukee Tool |
| 10:30 am | Ask the Product Team AnythingAfter consuming all of the amazing content from the sessions you attended, we are sure you might have some questions you'd like answered. This is your chance! In this interactive session, we have assembled a panel of experts from the Poka Product Team who will review any questions asked during the product session, review the results of the polling questions asked throughout the conference and most importantly be available for you to ask questions directly to the panel and get them answered. Active participation is encouraged as there will be a prize awarded. | Yannick Haeck | Poka |
