Chicago business leaders and professionals will gather August 12 for networking and a discussion on leadership, innovation and building stronger multigenerational workplaces.
CHICAGO, August 11, 2026 — The Better Business Bureau Serving Chicago & Northern Illinois will host “The Power of Multigenerational Workforces” on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at House of Blues Chicago, bringing together business owners, executives, entrepreneurs, human resources professionals, managers and emerging leaders from across the Chicago area.
The event will focus on the opportunities and challenges created by an increasingly multigenerational workforce. Attendees will gain perspectives on strengthening collaboration among employees at different career stages, sharing institutional knowledge, adapting to technological change and creating workplace cultures that benefit from the experiences and perspectives of multiple generations.
The featured discussion will include Tom Kuczmarski, Co Founder of Chicago Innovation, and Howard Tullman, General Managing Partner of Chicago High Tech Investment Partners and G2T3V and former longtime CEO of 1871 Chicago.
Drawing on decades of experience in entrepreneurship, innovation, leadership and business development, Kuczmarski and Tullman will share insights on how organizations can capitalize on the strengths of employees across generations while navigating a rapidly changing business environment.
The program comes as employers increasingly recognize the value of age diverse teams. AARP research released in 2026 found that 93% of employers surveyed believe mixed age teams improve productivity, while 87% said multigenerational workplaces strengthen informal mentoring.
In addition to the featured discussion, the evening will provide attendees with an opportunity to network and develop new professional and business relationships within Chicago's diverse business community.
