“Millennials are the 80 million young adults born between 1980 and 2001, also known as Generation Y or Generation Next – and they will make up half of the U.S. workforce by 2020,” according to a press release.
Speakers will include New York Times futurist Michael Rogers, the dean of the CSU College of Business and other business experts.
The three-day conference is being put on by the Career Management Center, a service at Colorado State University’s College of Business.
The event will take place July 23 to 25 at the Fort Collins Hilton.
