Most IT teams assume Gen Z has moved on from email. The research disagrees.

Gen Z choose email for high-stakes communication at higher rates than Baby Boomers. Baby Boomers are the generation least likely to use AI, yet most likely to question whether a message they received was genuine. The divide isn't about trust. It's about formality, permanence, and what happens when a message needs to hold up.

Join Elisabeth Goossens, Director of Brand, James Wayne, Exclaimer Product Expert, and a senior IT guest for 45 minutes of research-backed discussion using Exclaimer's latest proprietary data. Together, they'll work through what most IT teams think they know about generational communication preferences, and what the numbers actually show.

In this webinar you’ll learn:

  • Why the assumptions don't hold: The counterintuitive findings from Exclaimer's research, and what they reveal about how different generations actually use email

  • What this means for IT infrastructure: If younger employees treat email as the high-stakes, formal channel, where does that leave security investment calibrated around chat tools?

  • How authentication and brand consistency connect: Why SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and a consistently branded email signature matter more as AI-assisted writing becomes standard

  • A framework to take back to your team: A practical framework for stress-testing your current governance and infrastructure assumptions

You’ll also get the chance to ask your questions live on the webinar.
