Chip Conley
Hospitality Maverick | Bridging Generational Gaps in Modern Workplace

About
Chip Conley brings a unique perspective to understanding what truly matters in life and work, having explored the intersection of human fulfillment and business success on the TED stage twice. His 2010 TED talk examined measuring what makes life worthwhile, challenging conventional metrics of success and proposing new ways to evaluate meaningful achievement beyond traditional financial indicators.
Eight years later, Conley returned to TED with insights on bridging generational divides in the workplace, specifically addressing the mutual learning opportunities between baby boomers and millennials. As a strategic advisor to Airbnb, he has witnessed firsthand how different generations can complement each other's strengths and perspectives in rapidly evolving business environments.
His work focuses on creating frameworks for intergenerational collaboration while identifying the core elements that contribute to a life well-lived, both personally and professionally.

What baby boomers can learn from millennials at work -- and vice versa
For the first time ever, we have five generations in the workplace at the same time, says entrepreneur Chip Conley. What would happen if we got intentional about how we all work together? In this accessible talk, Conley shows how age diversity makes companies stronger and calls for different generations to mentor each other at work, with wisdom flowing from old to young and young to old alike.
