Event Description:
In an era of significant disruptions, what gives communities their ability to bounce back in the face of new challenges? And what does it mean for the way we build-and rebuild-cities, neighborhoods, industries and networks? In times of upheaval, why do some people, communities, companies and systems thrive, while others fall apart? These are some of the questions asked and answered by international resiliency trainer and speaker Andrew Zolli, co-author of “Resilience: Why Things Bounce Back” and a strategic advisor to a wide array of governmental organizations, NGOs, startups, cultural and civil society groups, and companies such as Nike and GE. Join us for this pioneering conversation about vital new approaches to constructing a more resilient future our region's people, institutions and our community.
