Today, every business is a global business as organizations routinely reach across borders to find talent or rely on an increasingly diverse workforce at home.

Thrive Global CEO Arianna Huffington and award-winning actor and advocate Michael J. Fox will join SAP Americas and APJ President Jennifer Morgan and SAP CHRO Stefan Ries in the closing session to examine the changing nature of work and what inclusivity and diversity really mean in today’s workplace. Attendees will learn how new, more creative ways of thinking can help people work more passionately to increase productivity, foster innovation, address talent scarcity and drive performance.
