Among the speakers at the Atlanta event is Netflix founder and startup CEO Marc Randolf, who will address a Thursday general session with “That Will Never Work: The Birth of Netflix and the Amazing Life of an Idea.”
Randolph shares “the unlikely story of how a handful of dreamers with no money and a bad idea, created the company that eventually brought down Blockbuster.” His account will be packed “with dozens of stories that trace the dramatic ups and downs of those first exciting years, Marc weaves an inspiring story that shows the value of innovation, persistence, and optimism.”
