Throughout history customer choice has transformed entire industries. Japanese auto manufacturers challenged US automakers to build more reliable, economical cars. In the 80s, the breakup of the Baby Bells made telecommunications more affordable. When customers are given choice rather than forced to settle on the status quo, the results can be
powerful. Superior quality and service. Diversity. Faster innovation and increased performance. All are derived from choice. Matthew Szulik, CEO and Chairman of Red Hat, together with Chris Hjelm, CTO of Orbitz, will deliver an address on the freedom of choice and how it is transforming the way the world does business.
