Author returns to South Charleston area for talk
Alec Ross, a native of Charleston, will return to his hometown area at the end of March to deliver a speech during the David C. Hardesty Jr. Festival of Ideas.
Ross wrote ‘The Industries of the Future’, which was released to great acclaim and became a New York Times best-seller. He has also spent the four years traveling world, working as the senior advisor for innovation during the time that Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State.
His book seeks to address the question of what the next big leader in industry will be. He believes that fields such as genomics or robotics are set to make a big impact in the world.
Organizations that are hosting authors and speakers, whether they are local to the area or not, can use flyers to get the word out and to let people know what the speeches or lectures will be about.
Ross' South Charleston speech will cover the topic of his book and will offer advice specific to the state of West Virginia. For example, he plans on recommending ways that West Virginia can take advantage of globalization to boost its prosperity.
The speech is free and open to all. It will take place at 7:30 pm on March 23, at Maier Performance Hall of the Clay Center for the Arts and Sciences at West Virginia University.
