Keynote Speeches

Authors William Strauss and Neil Howe have been the highlight of many annual conferences held by organizations ranging from the Census Bureau to Kraft Nabisco, from the Advertising Council to Ford Motor Company, from the Public Broadcasting Company to Walt Disney Imagineering, from the National Retired Teachers’ Association to the U.S. Naval Academy.

The authors will tailor their presentations to your group’s special needs. You can choose from an array of topics.

• Many audiences want to know more about a particular generation. The United States Coast Guard wanted to know the impact of the Millennial Generation (youth born since 1982) on their recruiting and training programs. AARP needed insights on how to refashion their core message in a way that would better appeal to the coming floodtide of Boomer retirees.
• Other groups are interested in how generations get along with each other. CNA Insurance and Johnson and Johnson wanted to better understand generational conflict in their workplaces.
• Many groups—especially those with markets and stakeholders in all age groups throughout the community—want the full panorama. They need to learn about all the generations and about what the rhythms of history imply for their institutional future. This is Howe and Strauss’s most frequently requested keynote.

We can bundle a keynote speech with breakout sessions for association leadership before or after the address. Additionally, the other products and services described can be bulk purchased for distribution prior to or after a keynote to assure that the important ideas and applications have maximum impact.
