• Talent and Innovation: How to Unlock the Next Generation

  Dave Wilkin’s TenThousandCoffees.com offers a simple way for young professionals to meet and network with more established leaders in their fields — all over cups of coffee and engaging conversations.

  In this talk, Wilkin shares his unique vision for how organizations can engage the enormous Millennial demographic while demolishing traditional barriers to success. He explains why it’s smart business to banish harmful generational stereotypes, foster diversity, and engage with younger workers in more meaningful ways.

  In addition, Wilkin shares how a relaxed and intuitive approach is far more effective than pursuing a top-down, institutional model (indeed, he talks on how flipping the mentorship model itself, having both younger and older partners benefit from the exchange, can help organizations attract and retain Millennial employees). And he explains how his solutions can allow government-funded incubators, career fairs, and alumni networks become more effective, and much more rewarding, for all parties.
