We have a robust program filled with informative, idea-charged panels and networking opportunities. We’ll also hear from one of the industry’s most prominent thought leaders – Evan Shapiro, executive vice president, digital enterprises, NBCUniversal. I can personally attest to Evan’s passion and focus on the millennial generation. He’s one of the most talented, generous, informed and coolest media leaders around!

Each of you brings something special and unique to the table. If you haven’t figured out what it is yet…you will.

Keynote:“It’shardtostandoutwhenyou’realwaysbusyfittingin.” In a world obsessed with social networking and technology, most people freely submit to the wisdom of the crowd, and willingly fall into a multiple choice personality - created FOR you by Facebook, LinkedIn, Apple and Microsoft. Yes, these are all powerful tools to help you succeed in business and life - but IF you let these electronic lock-ins define you, they will. To stand out, you have to focus on your most important and natural talent - being you.

EVANSHAPIRO,EVP Digital Enterprises, NBCUniversal / ODI Co-Chair / Wild West Keynote Speaker
It’s been my experience that Evan Shapiro is someone who consistently generates a movement to be a better person; to give more, to do more, to make a positive impact where ever you go, and to not waste your time in negative head space. He’s been supporting academic initiatives for many, many years, and continues to make a deep footprint in media.
I have an abundance of gratitude and appreciation for someone who stays in your corner, while sharing his time as a dedicated family man, philanthropist, mentor, millennial expert, adjunct professor, and a top media executive with major goals to hit.
Thank you, Evan, for your unwavering support, and for flying across the country today to get in front of some of the best students in Colorado! What a great way to kick off the day.
