“Steve Wozniak is the epitome our 2017 Conference theme, ‘Be a Leader,’ thanks to his revolutionizing our everyday lives through his technological genius. As we embark on a path to revolutionize our industry as TL Network, we will be eager to hear and learn from his keynote address,” said TL Network Canada Vice President Christine James. “In addition, by attending this year’s Conference, our members will be able to access hundreds of training and education opportunities including classes and sessions specifically geared to our Canadian delegates, network with like-minded individuals, and return home with new skills to be able to elevate the exceptional expertise they consistently provide to their clients.”
Iconic for his leadership in technology and philanthropy for more than 30 years, Steve Wozniak contributed to the public’s imagination on how computers could enhance their daily lives through his design of Apple’s first line of products, the Apple I and II, and his influence over the popular Macintosh. For his achievements at Apple, Wozniak was awarded the National Medal of Technology in 1985 by the President of the United States – the highest honor bestowed on America’s leading innovators. Wozniak is now Chief Scientist at Primary Data and is a published author with the 2006 release of his New York Times best-selling autobiography, iWoz: From Computer Geek to Cult Icon. In 2014, he was awarded the Hoover Medal, a prestigious honor given for “outstanding extra-career services by engineers to humanity,” and was inducted into the IndustryWeek Manufacturing Hall of Fame.
