The second seminar of the year will be held at HENNINGS BUILDING, RM 200 on Thursday October 29, 2009. Our featured speaker is Mark Dance, who is famously known as the employee #115. With his entrepreneurial skills, Mr. Dance transformed Creo from a company with revenue less than $20M into the largest prepress equipment and software company in the world. Today, Creo (now part of Kodak) employs over 4000 individuals worldwide and an engineering team of 1000 employees, with a run rate of $700M in revenue. In this upcoming seminar, Mr. Dance will share with us his experiences on VALUE CREATION.

Come join us next Thursday, and once again inspire the entrepreneurial spirit within you!
