PROVOST’S LECTURE SERIES H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H The Entrepreneurs Edge: Success on Long Island TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2014 H 7 PM Charles B. Wang Center Theatre Richard Gelfond, ’76 The Entrepreneurs Edge will feature a lively conversation between Rich Gelfond, Stony Brook alumnus and chief executive officer of IMAX Corporation, and Joseph Campolo, chairman of Protegrity Advisors, about Gelfond’s path from shoeshine entrepreneur to one of America’s top CEOs. Under Gelfond’s leadership, IMAX has evolved from a niche purveyor of nature and science documentaries to a Hollywood movie force — both as a high-tech exhibitor and a creative partner in the movie-making process. IMAX presented some of 2014’s top movies, including Captain America: The Winter Soldier, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Godzilla and Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. This event will be the first in the Entrepreneurs Edge series, which showcases successful innovators from Long Island describing their sometimes roundabout and always individual career journeys. Connect with local business leaders at a reception at 6 pm in the Wang Theatre Lobby, immediately prior to the presentation. Seating is limited.
