In an age where the phrase cutting-edge technology is redefined almost daily, new power shifts in the workplace are occurring on a generational scale. What does our future society look like when leaders in tech & business are getting younger & younger but life expectancy rates are at an all-time high? How can we build sustainable & forward-thinking workplace culture that lasts even during rapidly evolving times? Airbnb'sChip ConleyandBrian Cheskyare high-profile examples of innovation & success on this front.
At age 52, Joie de Vivre Hospitality founder Chip Conley joined forces with Airbnb's millennial CEO & co-founder Brian Chesky to help improve guest experience & provide hosts with innovative standards in hospitality. At the time, Conley was an established giant in the hotel world but, in his own words, he didn't even have the Uber or Lyft app on [his] phone. Despite his lack of tech proficiency, Conley was named head of global hospitality & strategy at Airbnb in 2013, and, since then, he has become an unexpected leader in recent efforts to merge baby boomer industry experience & perspective with millennial tech fluency & creativity. In his upcoming book,Wisdom at Work: The Making of a Modern Elder,Conley maps out his own experience with working at a tech company later in life & offers advice on how to break the traditional career mold.
Join us for a candid conversation with Conley & Chesky as they discuss their unlikely partnership & what other companies can do to make the most of employees from all walks of life. The conversation will be moderated byJulie Hanna, executive chairwoman at Kiva & advisor at X - The Moonshot Factory.
