About this webinar

After running his own successful boutique hotel company for close to 25 years, baby boomer Chip Conley was invited by Airbnb's millennial CEO/Co-Founder to join the company as head of global hospitality and strategy. Chip started out as a mentor to a digital native but soon realized he was equally as much an intern in the high tech world. This intergenerational exchange of wisdom - a modern day trade agreement of EQ (emotional intelligence) for DQ (digital intelligence) - turned into an invaluable four-year journey for both that inspired his new book, Wisdom@Work: The Making of a Modern Elder (September 2018).

Conley will be sharing his lessons for how to repurpose a lifetime of experience and wisdom to stay not just relevant, but indispensable, in the second, third, or fourth act of our careers - and become a catalyst for society to embrace age like any other diversity.
