Closing Keynote: When Generations Connect: Communicating across Generational Divides

Scott Zimmer is a seasoned public speaker, writer, and market researcher. With 12 years of speaking experience, he's developed a uniquely personable style and uses insight, humor; and data to foster an environment where every generation feels valued and understood.

As one of BridgeWorks' generational experts and resident Gen Xer, Scott's keynotes clearly illustrate the stress points between these generations and provide clear solutions to help relieve tension and encourage better understanding and collaboration across generational divides. A child of the 80's and 90's, Scott has insider knowledge into what makes his generation tick. Sandwiched between the idealistic Boomers and innovative Millennials, his Xer lens allows him to hone in on the key challenges facing each generation.
