Bill Inman, CEO PeopleLoop – Moderator: “The CXC Globalization & Future of Work Forum was a great event for learning more about the fast growing gig economy. Our speakers honed in on macro and economic reasons why this workforce is growing so rapidly as well as what companies need to do to be prepared. It was clear throughout the presentations that companies that are not ahead of this global trend may have more compliance challenges and cost increases than they expect!”
John Smith, Managing Director CXC Global America’s: “The Forum brought together speakers and collaborators who are living the “Future of Work”.

As quoted by Constantin Gurdgiev of True Economics – Key Note Speaker “Three in ten U.S. jobs are held by the Self-Employed and the workers they hire. “Thanks in large measure to innovation, the American workforce and the very nature of work is
experiencing some profound changes. It’s not just the growth of new technologies, but also the rise of entirely new industries and new job structures. We’re seeing the tech-drive expansion of the gig or on-demand economy, giving workers flexibility and enabling them to monetize existing assets, like their cars or extra rooms in their homes,” Tom Perez U.S. Secretary of Labor, 2016. Constantin went on to talk about our ‘readiness’ for the ‘Gig’ economy, addressing impact areas such as Tax & Fiscal Systems, Human Capital Investment, Markets and Quality of Life.
