Evolutionary Wave hits Sicily

2015, October, 05

What could be better than going to Sicily at the end of September, being on the seaside and taking part in a stimulating, intimate gathering of future shapers?

The event had a great name as well: Evolutionary Wave. It brought together about 100 executive guests from diverse companies for a fun and purpose-filled program of presentations, discussions, and social activities. I was especially pleased to share the stage with, and get to know Mr. Jay Elliot, a former close colleague of Steve Jobs, who has fascinating stories about taking part in shaping Apple.
Here is a press release of the event:
