The “Technology Legends” theme of the monthly VEF Fireside Chats has been extremely successful since it launched several months ago. People seem to really enjoy the discussion-centered format and gain a lot of valuable knowledge from the wildly successful entrepreneurs that share their honest wisdom on stage. The result has been a number of sell-out crowds. With the last “Technology Legend” event approaching this Tuesday, I thought I would include some information on it while tickets are still available. Here are the details:
Fireside Chat with Greg Peet
Vancity Theatre (1181 Seymour Street, Vancouver, BC)
19 May 2009, Tuesday starts at 05:30 PM
In the final instalment of our “Technology Legends” theme, the VEF is pleased to present a fireside chat with local legend Greg Peet. Greg is an accomplished business leader, entrepreneur, angel investor and corporate director. Until 2004, he was VP and General Manager of the McKesson Medical Imaging Group, a role he assumed following McKesson’s (NYSE:MKE) acquisition of A.L.I. Technologies in 2002 for over $500 million. As CEO, Greg spent a decade directing the growth of A.L.I., from an R&D organization into a market leader in the digital medical imaging segment with over 400 employees. Greg was recognized as the Ernst & Young’s Pacific Entrepreneur of the Year in 2002, and B.C. Technology Industry Association’s “Person of the Year” for 2007. Prior to ALI, Greg was CEO of Enterprise Technologies and Norsat. He began his career in the financial services industry. Greg currently serves on a number of company boards, and is Co-Chair of the B.C. Premier’s Technology Council.
