Wireless World Conference, October 6, 2005
Local companies stun world markets with wireless innovations. Local execs tell all.
On October 6, 2005 from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the University of Kansas Edwards Campus Auditorium in Overland Park, Kansas, the World Trade Center explores the future.
The minds behind the technology
Among our nation's greatest futurists in technology, three call Kansas City home - Sprint, Garmin Industries and Yellow Roadway.
Sprint's Chief Operating Officer Len Lauer shows you the power unleashed by today's technology. Garmin International's CFO Kevin Rauckman allows you to see the approaching power of GPS in applications that Garmin's technologists dream of today.
Yellow Roadway's VP of Strategic Market Planning Mike Brown tells how technology moved Yellow from a regional freight carrier into a worldwide shipping powerhouse using technology.
Author Sally Hogshead looks into the minds of today's greatest creators. In her interviews with 1000 Gen X professionals, the people who are leading our nation's technology exploration, she finds you can't keep them down in the skunk works. They want to play and create in the fresh air. Try to cage them and you lose them. Her new book "Radical Careering" takes a look into what this generation of inventive geniuses demand to stay happy and productive.
