Closing Keynote: Adam Steltzner, NASA "Rock & Roll" Engineer

Adam Steltzner made history as the lead engineer of the team that landed the Curiosity Mars Rover. Often called a "rock and roll" engineer, Adam is recognized for his leadership and commitment to collaborative innovation.

The challenges he and his team faced and the lessons learned from those struggles provide valuable insight on leading high-performing teams in high-stakes environments. What makes a team gel and enables truly innovative thinking? How do team dynamics drive that process forward or inhibit it? And how can organizational culture create an environment for sustained performance? Adam brings his true story of teamwork and leadership to the afternoon keynote of the UWEBC conference. More »
