Are We Losing Faith in Globalization?

After the golden years of growth during the 1990s and early 2000s, we’re witnessing global disintegration with a loss of confidence in globalization and free trade. In an era when the idea of globalization seems in decline and replaced by fear and protectionism can we redefine and rebuild globalization into a strategy for success? Join Scott Abel, The Content Wrangler, and his special guest, global content strategy consultant, Diana Ballard, for a free one-hour discussion about the future of globalization. Ballard will examine how some countries and companies are bucking the trend and profiting from globalization today. Attendees will learn how: * multiculturalism builds stronger communities, solutions, and outlooks * to embrace diversity—exchanging rather than excluding ideas—in order to drive disruptive innovation * digital transformation and technology is set to defeat the fear of globalization This session is intended as a discussion to re-construct our idea of globalization creating renewed optimism and a strategy for success.
