Sean Parker to Speak at Outlook Leadership Conference

Will join NJOY CEO Weiss in Nov. 11 General Session

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- CSP Business Media LLC has announced that Sean Parker has been added as a General Session speaker at Outlook Leadership Conference taking place November 9-12, 2013, in Scottsdale, Ariz. The Outlook Leadership Conference brings together executive-level retailers and suppliers in the convenience and petroleum retailing industry to share new ideas and solutions while participating in networking activities that promote and build camaraderie.

Sean Parker

Parker, the founder of Napster--the catalyst that altered the music world--funded opportunity with Facebook and continues to seek out innovative concepts. He will join NJOY CEO Craig Weiss for an engaging and candid discussion moderated by CSP's Kay Segal in a general session titled "Uncovering Blue Ocean Opportunity" on Monday, November 11.

During this session, Parker and Weiss discuss how they look at issues from a different vantage point than most people, creating opportunity where others see challenge or stagnation.

They will explore what it takes to uncover a Blue Ocean. From music to products, pioneers of innovation drive opportunity via customer engagement and demand satisfaction. Hitting an emotional thread to create desire is the magic of cutting-edge sustainment and business success, they say.

NJOY, maker of the NJOY electronic cigarette brand, is based in Scottsdale.
