Millennials and Gen Z:
What are the differences and why does it matter?
What are the differences and why does it matter?
With each of the Greatest Generation, Baby Boomers, and Gen X… researchers and marketers devoted significant time and energy to understanding the generational differences. Around the year 2000, many studies were published about the unique phenomenon of several generations in the workforce at the same time, due likely to people living and working together longer. And, of course, there are the accompanying consumers trends. This program will explore Millennials -- who are they and why does all of this matter? Right behind Millennials are the Gen Zs. This program promises to be both entertaining as well as informative.
Admission is $5.00 per person for Chamber members; $10.00 per person for non-members.
