Event Detail

Back by popular demand! Garr Reynolds' event was fully booked with more than 150 attendees on June 13 in Kobe, so we were requested to bring him back. This time at the Hilton Osaka with a cocktail reception included (8:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.).

Sign up early and don't miss out as the immensely popular Garr shares his inside story on Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs changed the world in his short 56 years on this planet. His incredible dedication to detail, simplicity and aesthetics raised the bar for technology, business, design and more. He even raised the bar for what constitutes an effective keynote presentation. Much has been written about Steve Jobs and his incredible accomplishments in the business world. But besides making for an interesting read, are there really any practical lessons in leadership and management that we can take away from examining his career? Our speaker says there are.

Professor Garr Reynolds is a long-time follower of Apple and Steve Jobs, having spent the early part of this millennium working as a marketing manager at Apple's head office in Cupertino, California. In this interactive presentation and discussion, Garr will share over twenty practical lessons in leadership, management and innovation learned from both his time at Apple and his research on the life and career of Steve Jobs.
