VEF Presents: A Fireside Chat with Tech Legend Ken Spencer April 28, 2009

As part of our Technology Legends theme, the Vancouver Enterprise Forum is pleased to present a fireside chat with local legend Ken Spencer. After holding a senior executive role in many BC technology companies such as MacDonald Detwiller and Associates and Glenayre, Ken and his partner Dan Gelbart branched out on their own to found Creo Products. In the next 20 years, they grew the company into BC’s largest technology company with 4,000 employees and revenues of nearly $1 billion, took the company public and eventually sold the company to Kodak in 2005.

Laurie Wallace of FlyOver Entertainment will moderate the fireside chat. He and Ken will talk about Ken’s drive to co-found Creo Products, his motivation for wanting to run his own company, and the keys to growing Creo into BC’s largest technology company.
