KEYNOTE SPEAKER ADDED
Mike Walsh is the CEO of Tomorrow, a global consultancy on designing companies for the 21st century. He advises leaders on how to thrive in the current era of disruptive technological change.
The majority of his time is spent traveling the world to study emerging technologies and shifts in human behavior that can be translated into pragmatic plans for the future. You are invited to hear his unique perspective when he speaks at the 71st Annual Meeting on Friday, September 14th.
"Everything is changing. How we live, how we work and how we play. But to understand the future you need to focus on anthropology (the study of human beings) not technology. After all, as interesting as it is when things change, the real magic happens when people do."
