We find ourselves in a suspended moment; between what was known and what is still unknown. The old order is fading, and a new one is emerging. Rather than passively allowing this historic moment to pass us by, we are actively engaging in creating our ideal reality. Driven by this challenge and opportunity, HireWisdom will be hosting a free online event: Design the Future. Our mission is to help co-create a just, prosperous future society that promotes cooperation, equality, and equity for everyone. Are you in?
This event is part of a series of Design The Future events sponsored and hosted by HireWisdom. View the full event recording below.
