| Source: Strategic News Service
FRIDAY HARBOR, WA--(Marketwire - October 12, 2009) - 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™ 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
