As a Millennial, I can tell you this is right on point. \While walking the tradeshow floor with a colleague a year ago, an exhibitor commented how nice it was that I was attending the show with my dad. There is nothing more frustrating and deflating than age discrimination..and no easier way to segment off an entire group of potential buyers. I highly recommend mentor programs within organizations, and on the conference level, holding a generation x/y event. The above mentioned points will certainly help attract young professionals, and forming a strong connection among the young professionals is invaluable for an organization's future. Keep up the good work! -Ashley Jeff, what a great post. As a Millennial, I can tell you this is right on point.
