SUMMARY:The $100K Hiding in Your Payroll: AI Agents for Founders
DESCRIPTION:Where does payroll actually go? In most 10 to 100 person companies\, a surprising share of it pays for repetitive work: copying data between tools\, chasing follow-ups\, redoing the same report every week. Spread across a team\, that is easily six figures a year. \nThis free hour covers which operational tasks AI agents handle reliably today\, which ones still need a person\, and how to run the payroll math for your own company. \nTaught by Jordan Calderon\, a 4x bootstrapped founder with three exits. His previous agency drove $175M+ in client revenue. \nYou will leave with a way to spot the repetitive work hiding in your own payroll\, real examples of agent builds that worked and ones that did not\, and live answers: bring the task eating your team’s week and Jordan will work through as many as he can. \nWho this is NOT for: solo founders and pre-team startups. If nobody on your team is doing repetitive admin work yet\, the math will not apply to you. \nFree and online\, Tuesday September 1. \n1:00 PM to 2:00 PM ET (10:00 AM PT) \nJoin on Zoom: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/81342612939 (Meeting ID 813 4261 2939)

SUMMARY:eCornell Keynote: Raising the Stakes: Designing the Casino of the Next Decade
DESCRIPTION:The gaming landscape is shifting faster than a roulette wheel spins. Deregulation has multiplied the number of venues\, online wagering continues to surge\, and gaming revenue now represents a shrinking share of the total as entertainment\, dining\, and retail carry more weight. Together\, these forces are pushing casino executives to rethink their strategies from the ground up. \nIf you’re curious about how new properties are being conceived and how established ones are reinventing themselves to compete\, join us for this Keynote. Our panelists will discuss the keys to designing a successful gaming property\, the intricacies of programming that unlock a venue’s full potential\, and the leadership practices that separate the winners from the rest. \nSpeakers:\n• Francisco de Asis Martinez-Jerez\, SC Johnson College of Business (Moderator)\n• Mark Birtha ’94\, President\, Hard Rock Hoel & Casino Sacramento at Fire Mountain\n• Jason Spillerman ’92\, Principal and Co-Founder\, Vibrant development Group\n• Joyen Vakil\, Global Director of Hospitality\, Gensler \nWhat you’ll learn:\n• How deregulation and online wagering are reshaping competition in regional and destination markets\n• What defines a property’s value\n• Design principles that turn a casino floor into a full entertainment destination\n• How programming and amenity mix drive visitation\, dwell time\, and spend\n• What separates properties that successfully reinvent themselves from those that stall\n• The leadership habits and organizational choices behind high-performing gaming operations.
