EVENT DETAILS |
In less than 3 years, over half of the working population will be millennials. Those 18-35 nurture different expectations. Millennials refuse to consume brands that do not cultivate social impact; they refuse to join companies that fail to register social good as a tangible driver of their operations. Yet most companies are yet to adapt to this wave of social disruption, & many are entirely unequipped to begin this cultural shift.
In this presentation, serial entrepreneur & philanthropist Alexandre Mars will explain how corporations can position themselves to embrace the social disruption & strategically deploy painless, systemic & optional solutions to remain relevant.
WHERE: GIPHY Office, 416 West 13th St. Suite 207 NY, NY 10014
This event will take place in the betaworks building, but in GIPHY's office, whose entrance is on West 13th street.
WHEN: 6:30 - 8:30 PM ET
Pizza & beer will be served starting at 6:30 PM. The event will begin promptly at 7 PM. Please arrive before 7 PM to mingle & grab a seat.
