Association for Conflict Resolution - Greater New York and CUNY Dispute Resolution Center at John Jay College invite you to an in-person event as part of the 22^nd ACR-GNY Annual Conference, The Speed of Need. Join us at John Jay College of Criminal Justice for Navigating Uncertain Futures at the Speed of Need. Moderated by Nick Pozek, this discussion will feature special guests Zaynab Abdi (Futures & Strategics Fellow - UNDP), Borislava Manojlovic (Assistant Professor, Conflict Analysis and Resolution - George Mason University), and Shai Naides (Youth-centered Strategy & Impact at UNICEF). This is an opportunity to reconnect with colleagues from ACR-GNY and the Roundtable Breakfasts in an evening event!

The central discussion of this event considers the polycrisis - the convergence of seemingly intractable and potentially existential risks defining the 21^st century. Through topics such as the myriad of humanitarian crises, the rise of AI, the climate emergency, and deepening political polarization, this conversation will explore the emerging issues that conflict resolvers face today and the competencies needed to address them.

We are looking forward to an evening of conversation and connection. Light refreshments will be served. We hope you will join us!

Special thanks to the CUNY Dispute Resolution Center at John Jay College for co-sponsoring this event as part of the ACR-GNY 2023 Conference: The Speed of Need.
