The first 10 slides (Crystal's) focus on understanding GenY and the post-GenY generation and how they interact and engage. Slides 11-24 (mine) focus on reaching GenY as entrepreneurs. A few case studies wrap it up.

Their tone overall was more bemused than outraged ” – “Class of 09,” New York magazine, Emily Nussbaum ,June 15-22, 2009
