Given the rapidly changing environment, nationally and globally, brought on by Covid-19, this topic is more important than ever.
Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, will join the Congress for a discussion with MIT Labor Economist David Autor. The conference will feature panels and Q&A with leading academics, business, education, labor and philanthropic leaders, as well as policy makers.
Join us to explore the important question – how can we create a future of work that complements and augments human potential while contributing to shared economic prosperity?
