FRIDAY HARBOR, WA--(Marketwired - Jan 31, 2014) - Michael Dell, founder and CEO of Dell Inc., will be featured in a Centerpiece Conversation at the 12th annual SNS Future in Review (FiRe) technology conference, May 21-23, 2014. This will be Dell's third appearance at the annual technology and economic conference, described by the Economist as "the best technology conference in the world."
Michael Dell founded Dell Inc. with $1,000 in 1984, at the age of 19. Notably quoted as saying that "technology is about enabling human potential," Dell's vision of how technology should be designed, manufactured, and sold forever changed the IT industry. In 1992, Dell became the youngest CEO ever to earn a ranking on the Fortune 500. He recently succeeded in taking the company private, in pursuit of longer-term goals.
Today, Dell Inc. comprises more than 100,000 team members who serve the IT needs of global corporations, small and medium businesses, governments, healthcare providers, educational institutions, and home computing users. From PCs to the infrastructure, software, and services that power the world's most complex data centers and cloud computing environments, Dell Inc.'s broad range of IT services and solutions has helped millions of customers around the world achieve the outcomes that are most important to them.
"I consider Michael Dell to be one of the greatest entrepreneurs of this century. I am delighted that he will be joining us for FiRe 2014, and I look forward to learning more about his plans for the company and the industry," said Mark Anderson, FiRe Chair and CEO of the Strategic News Service.
