We were recently honored to be the moderator of a “Teton Talk” at the Teton County Library. The event was billed as a community conversation with innovative thinkers Rob Kellogg, the new ED of Silicon Couloir, and Fred Keller, founder of Cascade Engineering, about the unparalleled potential for the private sector, driven by the innovative spirit of capitalism, to address the complex challenges of our era. We came together united in a belief that, in the words of Fred Keller,: “To ignore the capability business has to solve difficult, complex problems is to waste the single greatest opportunity the world has to solve its toughest problems.”
We are thrilled to unveil an impressive lineup of keynote speakers and a unique facilitation program for its 2024 Fall Summit, “Human Intelligence: Bold Leadership for a Purpose-Driven Future,” scheduled for September 26-27, 2024, in Teton Village, WY.
