2023 KEYNOTE ADDRESS

Kim Lear's interest has always been understanding the social trends shaping the future. Her undergrad research was on Baby Boomers redefinition of aging, and her post-grad work was on Millennials and social media trends. Her two most recent studies are focused on the rapidly changing world of work. The Pandemic Time Capsule, a 200-interview project, provides insight into how quarantine, work-from-home, and the "new normal" reshaped the world and our expectations.

In this illuminating Keynote Address, Ms. Lear will discuss the generational differences and trends shaping our current social fabric with specific insights related to aging and aesthetic medicine, engaging consumers of all ages, and navigating the modern workforce.
