The Covid pandemic has fundamentally changed the nature of work around the world and left employees, employers, and policy makers with significant unanswered questions about what a new normal will be, or when it will arrive. But, in many ways, 2020's impacts on workforce, production, and economies represent an acceleration of technology trends that were already in place. The International Relations Council and Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce are proud to host a conversation on this topic that considers emerging big-picture realities at home and abroad as well as specific ongoing trends and impacts seen in the Kansas City metro area. Join Jeffrey Brown, head of technology policy for the Bertelsmann Foundation, and a panel of local experts for insights and forecasts on this evolving ecosystem.
About the Speakers
Jeffrey Brown leads projects and thought leadership on artificial intelligence, the future of work, and, more broadly, new technologies and their impact on international affairs. He builds networks and platforms – such as “the-future-of-work.org” – to help policymakers, business leaders, and citizens advance innovative strategy and policy for the digital age. His writing and videos have been featured in Axios, Politico, Forbes, Euractiv, The Christian Science Monitor, and The Wilson Quarterly, and he has spoken at the OECD, Politico, the Paris Peace Forum, the Rockefeller Foundation, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the City of New York, and at various diplomatic missions.
An avid entrepreneur with a strategic mindset, he thrives in unstructured, international environments where problem solving, political savvy, and strategic thinking are vital to achieving success. Jeffrey speaks fluent French and some Portuguese, and is passionate about developing a career at the nexus of business, digital policy, and international affairs.
Jeffrey holds an M.A. in Political Science & European Studies from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, for which he completed one year of study – in French – at Sciences Po Paris. He holds a B.A. in Political Science from St. Olaf College.
