EDGE26 will feature several new and exciting keynote speakers, including Jason Dorsey and FC and Dr. Jessica Barker.
Jason Dorsey, President of The Center for Generational Kinetics, has led more than 120 research studies to solve the issue of the generational divide and has uncovered that most business problems are actually generational problems. Jason will present on how generational issues are impacting credit unions on May 14th.
FC (FreakyClown) is a renowned ethical hacker and social engineer and author of the bestselling book, “How I Rob Banks.” Dr. Jessica Barker is an award-winning leader in the human side of cybersecurity, as well as a best-selling author.
