About this event

Join Rebecca Ryan at the 2009 International Economic Development Council Leadership Summit.  

Next Generation Consulting has been studying the work and community preferences of young talent, aged 20-40, since 1998.  In that time, they've talked with over 30,000 people - most of them young, knowledge workers - who have shared their work and life preferences with us.   Join Ms. Ryan, author of the groundbreaking report, "Hot Jobs - Cool Communities," and Live First, Work Second as she explores Next Cities.  Her presentation will focus on answering:

• Where the “Next Cities” are;

• What do Next Cities have in common?;

• What’s the path to becoming a Next City?; and

• What the next generation is saying NOW - in the face of a recession - about the importance of living in a “Next City.”
