What if terms like “Boomers,” “Gen X,” “Millenials” and “Gen Z” only serve to pigeonhole us into rigid categories and life stages that artificially prevent us from reaching our full potential? In today’s world of increasing longevity and exploding technology, could there be another way to level the playing fields of work and life where we aren’t pitted against each other by age or experience?

Join World Affairs and The Commonwealth Club on Monday, August 28 at 6:00 PM PT to hear from leading sociologist and business economist Mauro F. Guillén, who will explain how a new post-generational workforce known as “perennials” could give everyone a chance at living a rewarding life. He’ll reveal how this generational revolution will impact young people just entering the workforce as well as those who are living and working longer.

All in-person attendees will receive a copy of Guillén’s book “The Perennials: The Megatrends Creating a Postgenerational Society,” compliments of the Ken & Jaclyn Broad Family Fund.
