We’re less than three weeks away from Practically Genius 2021! On October 5-6, we’ll be bringing Formstack customers, business leaders, and industry experts together for two half-days packed with stories, lessons, and insights on overcoming today’s toughest workplace challenges. We can’t wait to show you all the incredible ways organizations have pushed the status quo and reimagined how work gets done.

Here are the five things we’re looking forward to most at this year’s virtual conference:

1. Stellar Guest Keynote Speakers

We have two guest keynote speakers that you won’t want to miss. On October 5, Ellen Ochoa will be joining us for a fireside chat with Formstack SVP of Marketing, Kathryn Loheide. As the first Latina in space and former Director of NASA’s Johnson Space Center, Ellen is passionate about innovation, inclusion, and teamwork. During her chat with Kathryn, she’ll share her experiences in space and how she led NASA through change.


On October 6, Stephanie Mehta will share “The Secrets of the Best Workplaces for Innovators.” As Editor-in-Chief of Fast Company, Stephanie oversees stories shared by business leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs. Brimming with insider knowledge of what makes cutting-edge companies work, Mehta will provide practical lessons on innovating—from product to process to culture.

2. Insight-Packed Breakout Panels

From shifting to digital workflows to adjusting to remote work, organizations have dealt with various challenges over the last year. To give you an inside look at how businesses have overcome the obstacles they’ve faced, we have six panel breakout sessions that will bring together leaders and innovators behind some of the biggest transformative digital efforts of the past year:

3. Practically Genius Awards Ceremony

These last few months have forced all of us to be more creative and tackle tough challenges. On October 6, we’ll be hosting the Practically Genius Awards ceremony to recognize the most innovative organizations that use digitization and workflow automation to transform their operations and improve the employee and customer experience. From healthcare to financial services, we’ll be celebrating the efforts of various companies and teams across departments and industries. Join us live to see who the winners are and discover ideas that can help you drive your own digital transformation efforts.
