The Next Generation of Business
Business leaders are navigating an economy shaped by rapid technological change, evolving markets, and increasing complexity in decision-making. The Next Generation of Business: AI & Emerging Forces, presented in partnership with the University of Oregon’s Lundquist College of Business, brings together respected voices to explore where business is headed and how leaders can think more strategically about growth, risk, capital, and long-term priorities.
Hosted at the Ford Alumni Center, the event features an economic keynote from Dana Peterson, Chief Economist at The Conference Board, followed by a moderated panel discussion with Vivek Patel, VP of IT at Ampere Computing, and Bill Kennedy, Chief Investment Officer at RiskBridge Advisors. Moderated by Lundquist Dean Bruce Blonigen, the conversation will focus on the real-world impact of artificial intelligence and other emerging forces already shaping how organizations operate and compete.
