The Future of Work Global Conference
Malaga, Spain
|
|
As we watch the temperatures dip and the leaves turn with the seasons in Philadelphia, we wanted to reflect on the special magic of Eisenhower Fellowships on display in Málaga, Spain last month at our extraordinary global conference on the Future of Work.
|
|
For the first time, EF introduced
32 youth leaders from 20 countries,
the inaugural cohort of the Eisenhower Fellowships Youth Leaders Network, a dynamic new dimension of the EF global family.
In addition to the impressive number of guests that gathered in Málaga from around the world, the event was followed by more than another 600 participants on livestream and generated more than 30,000 Twitter impressions, trending #1 on Twitter in Málaga. Engagement with the EF Facebook page was up by 375% and the conference was widely covered by
Spanish local and national media.
Co-sponsored by our Fellows from Spain and Jordan and marked by wonderful social events and fascinating local site visits in this breathtakingly beautiful Mediterranean city by the sea, the event marked the largest EF gathering outside the United States in our 64-year history, leaving Fellows energized and exhilarated.
In the meantime, we are delighted to share with you today two tools that will memorialize and help catalyze our work moving forward.
Our post-conference report
highlights and summarizes key moments and takeaways from our gathering.
This short video
brings back to life many of the moments we shared in Má
laga.
We look forward to seeing you at next spring’s gala dinner event in Philadelphia to honor General Colin L. Powell on May 16, 2017 and at our Annual Meeting and Awards Dinner the following day, May 17, when we will welcome our new Chairman, former U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates.
