HBS Global Networking Night Presents:
The Future of Work—and Managing the Impact of COVID-19
October 20-21, 2020

As the global pandemic continues to change the way we work, interact, and learn from each other, it's more important than ever to find meaningful ways to stay connected. HBS Alumni Clubs invite you to join in this year’s annual HBS Global Networking Night (GNN).

GNN 2020 is expanding to a two-day event, offering a unique opportunity for you to connect virtually with leading HBS faculty members as well as with fellow alumni in both global and local conversations!

This first-ever worldwide event begins on October 20 with a special interactive presentation by professors Joseph Fuller and William Kerr, who will explore how companies need to take action on three forces that are changing how and where we work: the rise of the gig economy; the growing polarization between middle skills and high skills workers; and the evolution in the contract between employees and employers—all amidst COVID-19.

This live program will be presented twice. Registration is required to receive login.

• Session 1: Tuesday, October 20, 8:30 a.m. - 9:45 a.m. EDT
• Session 2: Tuesday, October 20, 5:30 p.m. - 6:45 p.m. EDT

The next day, Wednesday, October 21, many HBS Clubs around the world will use The Future of Work program as a springboard for region-specific GNN events, where alumni can discuss how they might tackle workforce disruptions to ensure the survival of their companies and the prosperity of their communities. Other clubs will be hosting events that offer their own conversations and networking opportunities.

Whether you are a member of a specific HBS club, alumni may participate in any of the following clubs’ events.
