SIMposium 2014

July 16, 2014

SIMposium 2014 | The theme is innovation in business, in our careers, and in our lives. Innovation peaks in the Rockies.

Innovation is no longer the luxury of risk taking people and organizations.  Innovation is a requirement to survive.

The Colorado SIMposium team has an impressive list of speakers  to help us navigate today’s business environment.  This conference is not about specific technologies — it’s about remaining nimble in a constantly changing world.

  • Keynote lineup:  Ray Kurzweil, John Thompson, Rod Collins, Jim Highsmith, Brian Shul, Ann Schatz, Kristin Russell, and more
  • The view from above:  “C” level business leaders discuss what they need and want from each other. Honest, frank conversations without the business-speak.
  • The CIO as business leader:  CIOs who have made the transformation from technology specialist to business leader provide insight to their success.
  • Innovative leaders share their secrets: You, too, can be innovative in your career and life.
  • SIM tank: venture capitalists and ‘disruptive’ companies offer a unique opportunity to visualize the future of business. That’s right, more things to worry about over your morning coffee.

This is not your typical business conference, this is not your typical technology conference, and this is not your typical leadership conference. SIMposium 2014 brings it all together to provide you with the knowledge, skills, insight, and connections to help you navigate the pitfalls and potential of our brave new world.
