8:30-9:00am                 Registration and Coffee

9:15-10:15am               Keynote Address: “The Pecking Order: Which Siblings Succeed, Which Don't and Why”

 

Speaker: Dalton Conley.

 

Why are some of us rich and others poor? Why are some of us famous, while others remain anonymous? The best way to understand why some Americans succeed more than others is to examine differences within families-that is, to compare siblings to one another. The talk examines factors that predict which siblings will succeed and why, and the ways in which parents and siblings affect a child's success.
