Fidelity Investments “Leadership in Technology”
Executive Speakers Series
Created and hosted by the NC State Department of Computer Science, the Fidelity Investments
"Leadership in Technology" Executive Speakers Series was created to
provide students of all disciplines, as well as the extended
university and business community, exposure to the unique world of
leadership in technology.
The series, launched as a part of the
computer science department's 40th Year Celebrations in 2007, features
accomplished and highly recognizable entrepreneurs, leaders and executives to
speak on a variety of technology-focused leadership topics. The variety and
quality of the speakers has resulted in the series quickly becoming known as one
of the premiere speakers series on campus.
All talks are scheduled to take place at 6 pm in Room 1231 at EBII (unless noted otherwise), the department's state-of-the-art research and teaching home on NC State's award-winning Centennial Campus.
Each talk will be free and open to the public. Free parking (after 5 pm) is available in the deck on Partners Way. (directions & map).
