The inaugural INNOVATEwest conference has announced Guy Kawasaki as a keynote speaker.
Kawasaki is the latest addition to the program unveiled today, that includes 100+ speakers across six streams dedicated to AI & Applications, Data & Analytics, Cybersecurity, the Human Experience (interacting with tech), Start-up/Scale-up and Digital Business Economy.
Silicon Valley’s Guy Kawasaki is chief evangelist of Canva and the creator of the Remarkable People podcast. He was chief evangelist of Apple, a trustee of the Wikimedia Foundation, and the author of 15 books.
His latest, Think Remarkable, delivers a practical, tactical and sometimes radical discussion of how to make a difference in your life, and includes insights from 200 extraordinary people.
“As a pioneering figure in the tech world, Guy Kawasaki epitomizes the spirit of INNOVATEwest—bold, visionary and forward-thinking,” said David Tyldesley, Co-Founder of INNOVATEwest and Cube Business Media.
“His presence will set the tone for two days of transformative conversations, spontaneous connections and electric energy that we know Western Canada’s tech and tech-enabled business communities have been asking for.”
Kawasaki joins an impressive list of tech founders and executives from leading organizations ready to share their wisdom and experience with an engaged crowd at IW, from companies that include Ada, Clio, Jane, Jobber, Klue, who will compliment world leaders like Microsoft, Blackberry and Google.
Among the conference’s features are Grizzly Pursuit, a live startup pitch event with a $20K cash award, and FIREHOOD Angel Camp, an opportunity for pre-revenue, early-stage, women-led tech startups to take home $100K in capital and mentorship.
