SUMMARY:Rural Economic Development Session with Dr. Ken Coates
DESCRIPTION:Ken Coates will be talking about Rural Futures. Over the past few decades\, rural and small-town Canada have faced immense strains. The migration of young people to the cities\, and changes in agriculture\, mining\, and manufacturing have undermined local economies. But rural Canada will not go quietly\, but instead is determined to preserve its special place within Canada well into the 21st century. Defining the lifestyles and economic prospects of rural and small-town Canada requires creativity\, community spirit\, and a full understanding of the challenges and opportunities that lie before us all. \nKen Coates is a rare public commentator who brings a deep understanding of past and present realities together with compelling ideas about Canada’s future. His passionate and highly engaging talks have captivated diverse audiences across the country\, from college administrators and economic development officers to Aboriginal entrepreneurs and community activists. Ken is Canada’s Research Chair in Regional Innovation and brings his experience in East Asia and around the Circumpolar world to bear on his understanding of Canada’s strengths and weaknesses. Ken combines irreverence\, insight\, and a sense of humour in his conversations about the issues that matter most to Canadians.

SUMMARY:How to Thrive or Survive in the Millennial Age? With David Coletto
DESCRIPTION:There are powerful new forces at work in the modern workplace\, a dynamic driven by the intersection of disruptive technology and a new generation of employees who were raised differently\, have different values and different expectations. \nMisunderstanding these new realities will represent increasing peril for businesses\, employers\, politicians\, and governments. Millennials make up the largest portion of the working-age population representing more than 9.5 million Canadians. \nThis revolutionary\, generational change represents an enormous risk but also creates an incredible opportunity for the companies and organizations that are positioned to capitalize on it. \nAs one of Canada’s foremost experts on generational change and youth\, David has spent almost eight years as the founder and CEO of Abacus Data trying to understand his generation and working with brands\, associations\, and public sector organizations to reorient themselves for this millennial-dominated world. He’s convinced that a generational analysis is critical to understanding the forces at play in the workforce. \nThrough an engaging\, data-filled workshop\, David will argue that a generational lens is needed by all organizations\, large or small\, who are seeking to understand the dynamics at work in the market.”
