His experience and insights are helping our company advance on so many fronts that we felt it would be a disservice to all of us if we didn?t ask Guy to address the entire business community in Utah."

"At Connect magazine, we profile innovative companies and the people behind them," says Colin Kelly, Jr., executive editor of Connect. "Guy Kawasaki is the business innovator's innovator, and so for us, co-sponsoring this event is the quintessential opportunity to walk our talk.
