January 21, 2021 Zoom meeting

The impact of upcoming 5G everywhere, newly changed consumer behavior thanks to COVID-19, and the looming generational shift thanks to Generation Z, will make the commerce in the 2010s look more like the 1920s than the 21st century.  Thanks to internet that is ubiquitous, cheap, and available everywhere, people will no longer “go shopping”, but rather always be shopping.

This session will offer a sneak peek into a world beyond the pandemic:  into a world where half of consumers are under the age 30, where every device in our day-to-day life is connected to the internet, and more data is being generated by each of us every minute than entire cities just a few years ago.

What You’ll Learn From This Session…

  • How physical retail will change (not go away), and what will it be used for in its Renaissance
  • The importance of loyalty and brand in the future, and how brands can set themselves apart from other competitors (spoiler: it’s not an app).
  • How commerce brands’ time to focus on Millennials is gone, how Generation Z is just the tip of the iceberg, and how Generation Alpha will change everything.

Join us via Zoom Thursday to hear our Mr. Reily share his knowledge with us!

This week at the Rotary Club of Corpus Christi, we had the pleasure of hearing from our Rotary Youth Exchange student, Michaela Vidova, who shared her journey and the impact of the program on her life.Michaela spoke about following in the footsteps of both her father and her sister, and how that path led her to an experience that has been nothing short of life-changing. From new cultures to new connections, she reflected on how grateful she is for every opportunity the Rotary Youth Exchange program has given her—and how those experiences will stay with her long after this year.We’re especially grateful to the students from Solomon Coles High School, who reminded us that there are many pathways to success. Their stories of resilience and determination in the face of challenges were truly moving.We also loved hearing from the students of Veterans Memorial High School, whose friendship and support for one another showed how powerful it is to have someone by your side. Their bond was a great example of how encouragement can open doors and create new opportunities.It was a meaningful meeting all around, made even more special with a surprise Lifetime Achievement Award presentation to Rotarian Mike Kershaw in recognition of his lasting impact and dedication.Moments like these are what make our Thursdays so special.If you’ve been looking for a way to connect, grow, and give back in Corpus Christi, we’d love to have you join us.
