What Does the World Look Like in 2021?

October 21, 2020 
12:00 pm CDT – 1:30 pm CDT
The Covid-19 pandemic challenged the world to quickly pivot and adjust to new ways of working, networking, and doing business. In this time of disruption, we navigated turbulent waters to achieve the success that spurred innovation and transformation. At this time, we find ourselves wondering what the future brings.
Join us for a conversation between Moderator, Naomi Kent, and a panel of four thought leaders sharing their vision in these unprecedented times. The discussion will focus on "What Does the World Look Like in 2021?" How has your particular business and industry been impacted? How will 2021 continue to move your company and industry? There will be a time for Q&A from the attendees.
The event is free, but registration is required. A virtual link will be emailed to all registered guests the day before the event.
