Opening Keynote: “State of the Union (COVID-19)”
SPEAKER: Edmund Lunde, COO, Arion
Just two years after the Spanish Flu of 1918, which killed more than 50
million people globally, Babe Ruth played for a packed Yankee Stadium.
At the same time F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote the “Great Gatsby”, and
with that ushered in the great prosperity of the “Roaring 1920’s”. Now,
one hundred years later we are about to conquer the COVID-19
pandemic and can once again get back on our feet, take advantage
of new market opportunities, and like the “Great Gatsby” of the
1920’s hit the dance floor and create a new “Roaring Twenties”
in the 2020’s! Come listen to our State of the Union to learn more.
