To stay-in-the-know of the largest generation in today’s workforce, TeamKC attended Share. Like. Buy, one of the top conferences on marketing to millennials.

We came back with valuable research findings, case studies and trends on this generation, and below are a few key takeaways:

• Authenticity

  Young professionals look for the insider’s perspective on living and working in a city, and they want to identify with a community they can genuinely connect with.

• Tech Savvy
  With the expectation of innovation and a third of millennials using more than four devices per day, access to technology resources and infrastructure is a must-have on this generation’s checklist.

• Diversity
  Gen Y has an inclusive mentality. One of the most ethnically and racially diverse generations, millennials expect cultural inclusion.

• Storyliving
  The new storytelling, young professionals collect experiences instead of tangible things. They live for the experience, and flock to cities that offer lifestyle variety.

• Options
  With 78 percent of millennials calling themselves “trendsetters” when it comes to food, and with young professionals eating out four times a week on average, it’s no surprise the food scene is critical for a millennial when selecting a community to live in.
