And in the past twelve months, our reality has changed dramatically. What is the future of travel and of business? Is hugging and handshaking a thing of the past?

These are the kinds of questions we tackle with Sanjay Khanna, Futurist and CEO & Macro Trends Expert as well as Jack Jedwab, President of the Association for Canadian Studies. Jane Brown is filling in for Libby Znaimer today.
