Join us for this engaging, interactive workshop where you will learn: • We now have five generations in the workplace, and many leaders view this dynamic as a frustration and a challenge. • Learn how the strategy of Gentelligence® can help your organization leverage generational diversity as an opportunity and a competitive advantage. • Discover how this approach can help your organization succeed and thrive. • Gentelligence is more then understanding the generations, but a series of strategies and tools to understand the lens through which collegues see the world, and make help us to become more empathetic and effective collaborators and communicators.

Mindful of the economic and diverse cultural impacts, industry professionals are constantly striving to create design solutions to advocate for social and environmental sustainability through building equity in design. Join us for a structured panel discussion as we navigate the future together, hosted by our IIDA Ohio/Kentucky Chapter. Certified 1 IDCEC CEU.

From a look at furniture being manufactured right here in NW Ohio to a Virtual Tour of The Keybank Discovery Theater at Innovation Station and a recap of the design process/lessons learned during that project. Our hope for this event is for students to gain insight into potential careers of their own.
