The Aluminum Summit will offer a wide-ranging program that addresses critical challenges faced by the aluminum industry, including the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thursday’s closing session will feature a keynote presentation by publisher and futurist Rich Karlgaard. Karlgaard’s address, “Five Business Trends that will Emerge from COVID-19", examines COVID’s lasting impact on work, location, teams and collaboration. He will explore the post-COVID landscape on Wall Street, in Washington, Silicon Valley and beyond, assessing today’s economy, business, technology and investment climates, delving into the challenges of our time. He will explore what threats may stop the economic recovery, including government overreach, inflation and geopolitical miscalculation.
