SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The 2017 ACG Utah Intermountain Growth Conference will be held at the Salt Lake Marriott City Center on Tuesday, March 7. Geek Squad founder and former Best Buy CTO, Robert Stephens, will Keynote the lunch event, speaking about his experiences as an entrepreneur, lessons learned along the way, and offer his insights on how to approach the new economy and blaze the trail forward in 2017 and beyond.
With a start as a student fixing computers, Stephens turned Geek Squad into what is now the world's preeminent tech support service. After selling Geek Squad to Best Buy in 2002, Stephens began a new business venture, Assist, which uses bots and APIs to provide enhanced messaging capabilities for sales and customer service that includes big name clients such as Hyatt, Fandango, Sephora and 1-800-Flowers.
Stephens' speeches leave you with thought-provoking insights on developing a culture of innovation, creating memorable customer experiences and tips for identifying and harnessing upcoming disruptive trends — all of which are highly relevant for businesses and entrepreneurs in today's economy.
