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. Please register at SBUEdge.Eventbrite.com
