KEYNOTE FIRESIDE CHAT WITH JACK DORSEY & BIZ STONE 16:00 – 16:45 Gold Room Renowned founder Jack Dorsey wanted to be a sailor, tailor and painter before becoming an entrepreneur. Legendary creator Biz Stone first flexed his entrepreneurial muscles when he started his high school's lacrosse program. Listen in as they recount stories about Twitter, Square and Jelly, and offer musings and insights from their entrepreneurial journeys. JACK DORSEY is the creator, Co-Founder, and Chairman of Twitter, Inc. and the Co-Founder and CEO of Square, Inc. Originally from St. Louis, Jack's fascination with urban transit led him to Manhattan, where he programmed real-time messaging systems for couriers, taxis and emergency vehicles. Through his work, Jack witnessed thousands of drivers in the field constantly updating their location and activity, inspiring him to create Twitter. Twitter is a simplified and personalized real-time information network that connects millions of people with the stories, ideas and news they care about every day. Jack's dedication to simplifying the complex and making technology accessible to everyone everywhere continued with the founding of Square in 2009. Square enables anyone to accept credit cards and run their business on their smartphone or tablet, removing the friction from transactions and making commerce easy for everyone. Jack was recognized as one of TIME Magazine's 100 most influential people, WSJ Magazine's Technology Innovator of the Year and was named an "outstanding innovator under the age of 35" by MIT's Technology Review. BIZ STONE is an American entrepreneur and Co-Founder of Twitter. Today, Biz is Co-Founder and CEO of stealth startup, Jelly. A progenitor of social media, Stone has been developing large scale systems that facilitate the open exchange of information for more than fifteen years. Having started out as an artist, Biz stresses creativity, learning from mistakes and celebrating the triumph of humanity with a little help from technology.
