GRONBACH THE POWER OF PREDICTABILITY: CHARTING YOUR FUTURE THROUGH DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGE Tuesday, May 10, 2022 Come explore the common-sense, easy to understand, counterintuitive and fascinating realm of demography. Let Ken bring you into his world of counting people and accurately forecasting future markets. What products or services will fly or die? What nations are demographically doomed? What countries and continents are demographically positioned to excel? How will workforces change? Where are the best sources of talent? What information is useful in writing a post-pandemic strategic plan? Kenneth W. Gronbach is predicting that the United States and the Americas, because of their superior demographics over any other continent, will excel culturally and economically in the post-corona era. Ken is president of KGC Direct LLC and is an internationally respected demographer who has been able to forecast societal, commercial, economic, cultural and political phenomena with uncanny accuracy. Ken’s unusual blend of marketing savvy and common-sense demography, based on over 20 years of proprietary demographic study, sets him apart. KEYNOTE: JAMES OLSON TRAITORS I HAVE KNOWN Wednesday, May 11, 2022 James Olson, former CIA Chief of Counterintelligence, will discuss how our country’s security has been undermined by treachery from within. He will do so in the context of four Americans he knew and worked with who passed secrets to Russia in return for money, ego or sex. This topic will be relevant to anyone concerned about the insider threat and the need to protect sensitive information. “I knew all of them and was involved in catching them. Their betrayal was personal to me and very painful. The damage they did to our country was devastating.” James Olson James M. Olson is on the faculty of the Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M University, where he teaches courses on intelligence and national security.
