Walt Disney once said, "There's a hundred great ideas in every Readers Digest..." and I'm starting to think that there's a PDMA Annual International Conference Keynote Speaker in every one too!

Last year it was iRobot's CEO, Helen Grenier, which we blogged about both before and during the conference.  This year, its Guy Kawasaki, with his usual brand of excellent advice for budding entrepreneurs and innovators on page 100 of the May 2009 Readers Digest, including his thoughts on starting a business, selling ideas, expanding your education and giving something back. 

Guy's advice is similar to the one you've heard here ever since the economic downturn started...NOW is the time to make your move!

Guy Kawasaki is a managing director of Garage Technology Ventures, an early-stage venture capital firm and a columnist for Entrepreneur Magazine. Previously, he was an Apple Fellow at Apple Computer, Inc. Guy is the author of nine books including Reality Check, The Art of the Start, Rules for Revolutionaries, How to Drive Your Competition Crazy, Selling the Dream, and The Macintosh Way. He has a BA from Stanford University and an MBA from UCLA as well as an honorary doctorate from Babson College.

Mr. Kawasaki will be one of a great lineup of keynote speakers at the 2009 PDMA Annual International Conference, which is being held at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim, California starting November 2nd, 2009.  Don't forget that Think For A Change is an official Media Partner for the conference, which means you can use our discount code (MP09IC) during registration to save 20% off of your main conference fees!!!
