Computer icon Michael Dell will take the stage in Seattle this week,
where he will be featured as the 2009 FiReGlobal : West Coast
conference Centerpiece Speaker. Dell, Chairman and CEO of Dell, Inc.,
will be interviewed by Strategic News Service CEO Mark Anderson on
October 15th, at the Seattle Four Seasons Hotel. An extended audience
question period will also be included. FiReGlobal : West Coast is the
first regional version of the renowned Future in Review(TM) annual
global technology conference, which the Economist calls "the best
technology conference in the world."
Dell's long tenure in the computer industry has been marked by a
series of successes. At age 27, he became the youngest CEO ever to
work his way into the ranks of the Fortune 500, having left college
to run his business full-time. He currently serves on the Foundation
Board of the World Economic Forum and is a member of the executive
committee of the International Business Council. Dell recently
announced a pending $3.9 billion purchase of Perot Systems
"Michael Dell is one of the best CEOs alive today. Not only has he
successfully navigated many of the difficulties that have derailed
others, but he has had the ability and courage to come back and
reinvigorate Dell. The results of this work are now becoming
apparent. I am delighted to have Michael with us at FiReGlobal :
West Coast, and excited to hear his ideas about running Dell, buying
Perot Systems, and solving problems," said Mark Anderson, CEO of SNS,
Chair of FiRe and FiReGlobal : West Coast.
FiReGlobal : West Coast will showcase a world-class gathering of
local and global thought leaders in technology and economics, through
a series of interviews and onstage conversations. In a move beyond
current tech conferences, FiReGlobal : West Coast has overlaid
regional problems nominated by local leaders, to be solved through
the collaboration of local Chief Technology Officers prior to the
conference.
Other speakers will include Irwin Jacobs, Founder of Qualcomm;
RealNetworks Founder, Chairman and CEO Rob Glaser; Nobel Laureate Lee
Hartwell, President and Director of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer
Research Center; Steve Reynolds, CEO of Puget Sound Energy;
Washington State Commerce Department Director Rogers Weed; Larry
Smarr, Director of the UCSD California Institute for
Telecommunications and Information Technology; John Delaney, UW
Professor of Oceanography and Director of the Regional Scale Nodes
Program; and Mark Anderson.
