    The post-millennial workforce is here. From this new generation, the oldest are graduating high school, and employers (especially those facing a shortage of skilled labor) are getting ready. Demographers use a variety of names to refer to this generation (Gen Z, Plurals, iGens), but none of these labels has stuck yet. While it’s clear members of this generation will be technologically savvy, many of their other values, characteristics and behaviors are misunderstood. This presentation will provide critical insight into the post-millennial generation and highlight key strategies to attract and engage them as future employees.

    The concept of countries being able to buy and sell wares openly on the international marketplace is inviolable. Freedom to move products around the world is a given. Everything from the transfer of money to the accessibility of energy is sacrosanct. Yet, this is all artificial: an unintended — if happy — side effect of the American-led global order. With this order in its final days, all countries and industries must learn to operate in a world as unstructured as it is dangerous. Learn how we got here and what the future holds for those lucky enough to be in the one market that will continue to enjoy size, security, stability, liquidity and rule of law.
