\n<\/strong><\/b>Next Generation Retention: 5 Aspects that Instill Loyalty in a Millennial Workforce<\/b><\/span>
\n<\/em>Ryan Jenkins<\/strong><\/p>\n

91% of Millennials expect to stay in a job less than 3 years.<\/p>\n

For the first time in history there are 4 generations in the workplace, each with a varying perspective of work. Due to technology and a challenging economy, Millennials have developed a unique view of career and success at work. Creating Millennial loyalty will help organizations avoid the average price tag of $25,000 that it costs to replace a single Millennial employee.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>Next Generation Collaboration:\u00c2\u00a0 Keys to Engaging a Multi-Generational Workforce<\/b><\/span>
\n<\/em>Ryan Jenkins<\/strong><\/p>\n

52% of workers say they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re least likely to get along with someone from another generation. The rise of technology and internet access have forced massive changes in the workplace. But perhaps it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the millennial worker that has caused the most tension in the workplace. The generational divide at work has never been deeper and more daunting than it is today. In order to thrive tomorrow, organizations must leverage the unique strengths and experiences of each generation and create a workforce that collaborates seamlessly across generations.<\/p>\n

Ryan Jenkins is an internationally recognized keynote speaker and author of the book,\u00c2\u00a0The Millennial Manual: The Complete How-To Guide to Manage, Develop, and Engage Millennials at Work.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ryan has been featured in Forbes, Fast Company, Inc, and SUCCESS Magazine. Ryan\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s blog, podcast, and Inc.com column inspire and equip thousands of people every week. Ryan\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s passion, experience as a millennial himself, and his fresh and forward-thinking approach to generations have made him one of the most highly sought after generational and future of work keynote speakers.<\/p>\n

Reaching an Audience of One (part 1 of 2)<\/b><\/em><\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

In agri-marketing, the term data has many meanings. In the first part of this two-part session, we will look at the type of data that allows marketers to reach very specific audiences both online and offline. We will explore what data holds insights, modeling best customers, segmenting audiences, and best practices for effective multi-channel direct marketing.<\/p>\n

\"\"Connecting with Women in Agriculture<\/span><\/b>
\n<\/em>Marji Guyler-Alaniz, President and Founder of FarmHer<\/b><\/p>\n

Women have always been an important but mostly unseen aspect of agriculture. In recent years, women are rising to the forefront of agriculture in so many ways as owner\/operators, landowners, workers, mentors and much more.<\/p>\n

FarmHer began in 2013 to begin to change the image of agriculture \u00e2\u20ac\u201c to include women. Marji Guyler-Alaniz, President and Founder of FarmHer, and her team will bring you along their journey; from the start of the FarmHer project to where it is today, highlighting how the brand has connected with their audience of women in agriculture. This session will address past and future trends regarding women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s involvement in agriculture, provide best practices for reaching women through marketing efforts and address barriers that agricultural-focused brands may have in reaching women.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"Media Mix of\u00c2\u00a0Today<\/span>
\n<\/b><\/em>Leon Halbert, True Media
\n<\/b>Emily Jones, True Media<\/b><\/p>\n

Media opportunities have changed dramatically in the last 10 years. What was called “New Media”, and an add-on when budgets allowed, is now mainstream.\u00c2\u00a0How consumers use media has changed just as quickly and that is also evident in ag media. But what is the right Media Mix?.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>Be the Exception:\u00c2\u00a0 How Brilliant Marketers Find and Follow What Makes Them Different in a World Full of Average.<\/span>
\n<\/b><\/em>Jay Acunzo<\/b><\/p>\n

We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve practiced the best practices. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve tried the tried-and-true. But deep down, we have this creeping feeling our branded content is slightly better at best and copying competitors at worst. Noise competing with similar noise.\u00c2\u00a0What if we could break from all that? What if we created more original, more inspired work? What if we could proactively shape the market instead of constantly react to all the generic advice out there?\u00c2\u00a0In other words: What if we were the exception?<\/p>\n

In this fast-paced, inspiring talk, award-winning podcaster and former Google and HubSpot brand-builder Jay Acunzo will challenge us to break from conventional thinking. He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll share stories of innovative marketers who rejected best practices to succeed \u00e2\u20ac\u201d and the simple but powerful thinking that guided them.\u00c2\u00a0You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll learn how to make a daunting leap between average and exceptional seem more like a smart strategy, and you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll realize the best way forward doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t require any \u00e2\u20ac\u0153guru\u00e2\u20ac\u009d or \u00e2\u20ac\u0153growth hack.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

In the end, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll walk away ready to create more differentiated content that grabs attention and drives bigger results despite all the noise. In a world overrun with commodity content trying to reach people, your secret weapon will be knowing how to resonate.<\/p>\n

Jay Acunzo is creator and host of the Unthinkable Podcast.\u00c2\u00a0He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s an award-winning podcaster, a dynamic keynote speaker, and a veteran digital and content marketer. After digital media and marketing roles at Google and HubSpot, he was Vice President of Content and Brand at the venture capital firm NextView.<\/p>\n

Jay\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s work has been cited by the New York Times, the Washington Post, and Harvard Business School, while Salesforce called him \u00e2\u20ac\u0153a savant in all things creativity.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Today, he creates entertaining podcasts for people sick of commodity, complacent work. His flagship show,\u00c2\u00a0Unthinkable<\/em>, has been called \u00e2\u20ac\u0153one of the hottest new podcasts\u00e2\u20ac\u009d by Entrepreneur Magazine and explores work that seems crazy, until you hear their side of the story.<\/b><\/p>\n
