Flipping the conversation
Most events have top down discussions, CXO’s, Senior Managers share their view points. But we thought of flipping the discussion where we bring Gen Z and Millennials to challenge the seniors over a panel discussion.
In a separate discussion we will bring young dynamic next gen business leaders below 40 to share their views on future talent.
What exactly next gen employees need in the hybrid world?
