You're invited to attend "Future of Work – A Global Cultural Shift" on May 18 at WeWork Northern Liberties.

For generations, the “American Dream” has followed a pretty simple formula: Go to school, get a good job and work your way up the ladder in your career. That’s not the case anymore. Robots are eliminating human jobs and computer code is replacing bricks and mortar. Technological advancements, demographics shifts and an evolving economic landscape are threatening the very definition of what we know as “work.”

To explore the opportunities and rising challenges we face in this new era, WeWork invites you to join them for Future of Work – A Global Cultural Shift from 5:30-8:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 18 at its NoLibs location. You’ll enjoy cocktails, snacks and a tour of the space before Miguel McKelvey, Co-Founder & CCO of WeWork, and Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney discuss the cultural shifts of work on a global scale and how that will play into the future of work in Philly and at WeWork.

The event is 21+ only. You and your friends can RSVP here.

Attend WeWork’s Future of Philly series every month as it continues to leverage a global network to bring notable voices and influencers together to discuss different segments of Philadelphia's community. These signature events are produced in partnership with the city of Philadelphia and are open to the Philadelphia business community.
