Bill Gates to talk at IOD London
UPDATE: Bill has spoken - here is the post …
Bill Gates is to speak at an Institute of Directors lunch on Wednesday 30 January, 2008 at the Royal Lancaster Hotel.
The event will include a ‘questions from the floor’ section, giving the audience a great opportunity to question arguably the world’s most successful business leader ever, whilst he is heading up the organisation he founded and steered to become one of the globe’s most influential companies.
In the latest of his IoD World Leader Interviews, which have previously included Jack Welch, Lady Thatcher, Michael Dell and Sir Richard Branson, the IoD’s Chief Operating Officer, Andrew Main Wilson, will interview Bill Gates about his leadership style, his rise at Microsoft from humble beginnings, to the creation of one of the world’s most successful organisations, and his vision for future IT innovations, to build British businesses. Members of the IoD audience will then have the opportunity to ask Bill Gates questions of their own.
With Gates’ attention turning to other passions, such as his global health and education work at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, this is an exceptional opportunity to hear him speak in his capacity as founder of one of the largest and most successful companies of all time. Find out how he managed to transform a passion for software discovered at the age of 13 into an enterprise with revenues of $51bn and employing more than 78,000 people in 105 countries and regions.
What question would you ask?
