If you are here today, there is an excellent chance that you are a recognized leader in the youth development field or a technical expert in a related sector such as economic growth, agriculture, technology, health, or democracy and governance. Odds are you have been to numerous summits, conferences, and workshops, and you have high standards and even higher expectations for such gatherings. This Summit will not disappoint you. You will leave our three days together with concrete ideas, knowledge, and tools that you can immediately apply to your work to increase economic opportunities for youth in a more sustainable and scalable way. You will connect with new partners and re-connect with old friends and industry colleagues. You will be challenged, inspired, and entertained. And, last but not least, are a part of a truly global event, joining 400+ participants from more than 55 countries. We owe special thanks to our presenters for travelling from all corners of the world to our nation’s capital to share their experience and expertise with us. As we prepared for our first summit seven years ago, we set a clear vision to always deliver relevant, demand- driven content to our audience. This year, we once again bring to you distinguished partners who share that vision. Hilton Worldwide is supporting learning about trends and opportunities for youth in the hospitality, travel, and tourism sectors; Microsoft Corporation brings their commitment to bridging the opportunity divide for 300 million youth and to strengthening our industry’s skills in the effective use of technology; Citi Foundation has generously invested in the program and offers critical information about the needs and potential of the world’s urban youth; and RTI International has provided valuable thought leadership during the development of this year’s Workforce Development track. I also wish to express our special gratitude to the members of the Summit’s Global Advisory Committee for their time, insights, and continuous support in helping make this event a success. I look forward to meeting you and learning from you during the Summit. Along with attending this event, you are all invited to join our network of 25,000 youth economic opportunities professionals by visiting our online knowledge and learning hub, www.YouthEconomicOpportunities.org, which offers a variety of learning resources throughout the year.

  • UBS 45Th Annual Global & Media Communications Conference
    UBS Global Media & Communications Conference New York City December 5, 2017 Remarks by Timothy J. O’Shaughnessy President and Chief Executive Officer I’d like to begin by taking a brief walk down memory lane. It’s been a little over three years since I joined Graham Holdings and just over two years since I became CEO. When I started, Don and the rest of the GHC Board of Directors gave me broad latitude to move the company forward. The mandate we created for my first several years at the Company was three-fold: 1) Constantly evaluate the broadcast and cable landscapes to make sure we can effectively compete in the ecosystem in a long-term, value optimizing way; 2) Work with the management team at Kaplan to return the business to consistent, stable growth while managing risk for the overall enterprise; and 3) Effectively allocate capital through the use of our formidable balance sheet, as well as the cash generated from the operations of Kaplan and Graham Media Group, to grow the underlying earning power of the Company in value accretive ways. We’ve planted many seeds over the last few years. Some have sprouted, while others never took root. Overall we think the Graham Holdings you see today is stronger, less risky, and more poised for consistent, improved results than at any point since the spin- off of CableOne two and a half years ago. At Graham Holdings we view 2017 as an early peek at what we believe is in store in the future. For long-time followers of the Company, you’ll note that the previous statement is about as close to a forward looking prediction as you are likely to ever hear from us.
