We are proud to announce the 2022 Summer Workshop: “Innovating Together, Laying the Foundation,” taking place July 14–July 17, 2022, at the Seaport Hotel in Boston, MA.
At this year’s workshop, we’ll collaborate on complex challenges that demand the leadership and creativity that are hallmarks of the Hertz community, including cybersecurity and intellectual property, artificial intelligence and machine learning, inclusivity in science, and climate change. Just as in previous years, we’ll no doubt leave Boston with ideas and inspiration to find solutions that strengthen our nation and help build a better future for all.
