Future of Work Summit 2018: The Who, The What, The Where and The Why

We hold a fundamental belief that people are the fuel behind any business.

‍

They’re the innovators and doers, the passion and energy behind every initiative. As people change and generations begin to think differently about work and life, organizations must evolve their thinking alongside them. Staying on top of workplace trends helps organizations successfully align with, attract and retain top talent.

‍

That’s what we believe the future of work is all about - helping organizations of any size understand how work is moving ‘beyond the box’ and how a growing group of knowledge workers is focused on a better global future, constant learning, and a holistic quality of life defined by greater flexibility and a strong appetite for working around the world. At this year’s Future of Work Summit, we’re uniting a community of people who hold those same beliefs.

‍

What is the Future of Work Summit?

The Future of Work Summit is a gathering of policymakers, HR professionals, technologists, marketers, strategists and founders from multiple Fortune 500 companies, startups, agencies and non-profit organizations who are interested in attracting and retaining top talent to better understand how the workplace and workforce are changing.

‍

Our Future of Work Summit focuses on the necessity of developing a globally aware workforce. In a world where mutual understanding is more important than ever, successful leaders need to collaborate across organizational and cultural boundaries and build consensus and commitment among groups with different viewpoints and values.

‍

To put it plainly, understanding the world and being empathetic to different perspectives is a fundamental element of leadership.
