Oct 6th: Bryan Neider of Electronic Arts -- Let's ask about SPORE!

Thursday, Sep. 25, 2008

October 6th: The Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship and the Managing Technology & Innovation Concentration invite you to a reception and talk by Bryan Neider of Electronic Arts.  He is in the perfect position to talk about the difficult decision to hold back their latest blockbuster game, Spore, until it was ready.  Innovative firms (e.g., EA, Pixar) often have to make difficult timing decisions.  How do you know when an innovation should be held back?

We've planned a social hour / mixer on the 3rd floor Terrace from 6pm - 7pm.  Then Mr. Neider will speak in the Weigand Room (Arts & Sciences) from 7pm-8pm

This event will also give you the chance to meet the 15 participants in the CIE program "Certificate in Technology Entrepreneurship."  Fourteen of the participants are from Italy, and one from Australia.  They will be with us for the next two terms.  Start your networking now!

Please RSVP to Nick Kurns NKurns@scu.edu
