Agenda
Past Events
5:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Automation is one of those scary, ambiguous terms because of its economic, social, and political repercussions. But, no matter what form it takes, automation isn't going anywhere. As technology changes the contours of work, how can employers and business leaders continue to value, include, and show compassion toward their people? Come celebrate the end of classes and pre-game Afrobeats with your friends at the Human Capital Club. We'll pay for (some of) your dinner (drinks BYOB), share some laughs with John Oliver, and have some real talk about pressing issues relevant to your future!
6:15 PM – 7:00 PM
Alex Lieberman, Ross alum and co-founder of Morning Brew, will be joining us to close out Tech Week as he speaks about how he's been Resilient With Tech over these past two years.
Dinner will be provided via reimbursement.
1:00 PM – 2:00 PM
As tech becomes a core part of any job, in all industries, the general manager of the future has to be adaptive and resilient in new and profound ways.
