CoGenerate: ARL President's Institute 2025

A workplace with four or five generations working side by side is not a problem to be solved—it’s an opportunity to be leveraged. At the 2025 ARL President’s Institute, Janet Oh and Duncan Magidson from @Co_Generate will present the Blixrud Memorial Keynote, “Cogeneration in the Workplace and in the World.” They will discuss how to tap the different and complementary skills and talents of multigenerational teammates to reap rewards.

Together, institute participants will learn how best to understand generation, age, and life stage while avoiding stereotypes; how to communicate using a wide variety of styles to suit all ages; how to manage power dynamics; and how to build an age-diverse team of creative problem-solvers.

This event is open to everyone!

Connect with others from different libraries, institutions, positions, and—especially—generations for this interactive, two-day experience.
