GENERATION Z

As co-author of The Gen Z Effect Dan understands the emergence of a post-generational future.
One of the most profound changes in business and society is the emergence of the post millennial generation, Gen Z.
While every new generation has faced its share of disruption in technology, economics, politics and society, no other generation in the history of mankind has had the ability to make sure that every human being (and every “thing” ) on the planet is connected to each other, fully educated, and economically engaged. What might this mean for the way in which we build our business, markets, and institutions for education in the future?
In this revolutionary keynote, drawing from his book, The Gen Z Effect, Dan delves into a vision of the future that will not only disrupt but also reinvent almost every aspect of how we work, live and play. From radical new approaches to marketing and manufacturing to the potential obliteration of intellectual property and the shift to mass innovation, Dan provides a mind-bending view of why we will need to embrace Gen Z as the last best hope for taking on the world’s biggest challenges and opportunities, and how you can prepare yourself and your business for the greatest era of prosperity and advance the world has ever experienced.
The strategies and vision that Dan discusses in this keynote come from hands-on work with Google, Lowe’s Home Improvement, Catalina Marketing, NFP Health and more.
