Future Leaders Special Session
Tuesday, October 16

5:10-6:10pm

Speaker: Devin Fidler, The Institute of Alternative Futures

As a Futurist, Devin Fidler studies how work and business are changing and where future opportunities are emerging.

He will outline the five biggest factors, which are making careers over the next thirty years more complex than ever before and the best strategies that have been discovered to deal with this change.

Factors, such as:

Why are unconventional careers, from dot.coms launched in dorm rooms to professional poker playing at home, becoming more common?

&

Why is the old picture of a "career ladder" actually making many people's working lives worse?

In this session, participants will explore the answers to these, and many other questions, and how these answers reveal hidden opportunities for all careers.
