Southland has recently added big names in business to the lineup, including Aaron Levie, co-founder and CEO of enterprise cloud company Box; Christy Turlington, former model and founder of nonprofit Every Mother Counts; and John James, founder and CEO of e-commerce company Acumen Brands.
Other confirmed “entrepreneurial rock stars” and speakers include Former Vice President Al Gore; PayPal President David Marcus; Evernote CEO Phil Libin; Bonobos, Inc. CEO Andy Dunn; Coatue Management Senior Managing Director Thomas Laffont; and Tristan Walker, founder and CEO of Walker & Company Brands, Inc.
“We are very pleased to welcome these additional speakers to the Southland conference,” said Launch Tennessee CEO Charlie Brock. “They have all started successful, innovative companies and each brings a unique perspective on the entrepreneur’s journey. The startup founders at Southland will learn many actionable lessons from these speakers, especially since they cover a variety of industries.”
