E. Jay Saunders, CEO of Digicel TCI today delivered two presentations at the prestigious BlackBerry World 2011(formally WES) currently being held at the Orlando World Center Marriott in Orlando, Florida, which is estimated to have over 6,000 attendees.
E. Jay was nominated by RIM (the maker of the popular BlackBerry smartphones and the PlayBook Tablet PC) to speak on the topics of “Driving Value in Key Small to Medium Sized Vertical Markets” and “Storefronts that Sell”. The first Digicel representative to present at BlackBerry World, E. Jay stated “when an invitation comes to speak at a prestigious event as BlackBerry World you can’t turn it down. To be asked to speak on two topics is very humbling. This opportunity gave me the chance to publicly present the mobile solution that I’ve been working on in my spare time over the last couple of months. The solution was designed to greatly enhance the retail customer experience but at a price point that any small businesses can afford. I’m honored that RIM felt that it merit a presentation at its annual conference. Presenting at BlackBerry World also gave me the chance to showcase some of the great work being done on our retail stores by Digicel Group and Digicel TCI Retail Sales teams, who I am convinced are some of the best in the industry. I must thank Digicel’s Senior Management team for allowing and encouraging me to take up this offer.”
Some of the other speakers at the 3 day conference are: Mike Lazaridis, President & Co-CEO, RIM; Carolyn Everson, Vice President, Global Advertising Sales, Facebook; Dean Kamen Founder & President, DEKA Research & Development Corporation (inventor of the Segway); Malcolm Gladwell Author of What the Dog Saw and Outliers; Kevin Cavanaugh Vice President, Business and Technical Strategy, Collaboration Solutions, IBM Software Group; Tom Kelley General Manager, IDEO; Steven Berlin Johnson, Author of Where Good Ideas Come From and The Invention of Air; and Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer who announced their new partnership With RIM.
