Overview
We collaborated with BizTimes Media to host Washington County 2035, A Futurist Toolkit: Seven Practical Ideas on How We Get to 2035. On Tuesday, June 30th keynote speaker, Futurist David Zach shared his insights on the future of Washington County for the next fifteen years and beyond. Instead of just fascinating and/or frightening forecasts, attendees got a “toolkit,” a set of questions to ask on how to put all those fads and trends in a practical perspective.
Following the keynote, local executives discussed how upheavals like COVID-19, technology trends, and innovation are changing the face of Washington County and what you can do to remain relevant and competitive for the next two decades.
Presenters:
- David Decker, President, Decker Properties, Inc.
- Kent Lorenz, CEO, Lakeside Consulting, LLC
- Paul Manley, President, MGS Germantown
- Debbie Seeger, Advisor, Patina Solutions
