Featured Speakers

Dennis Conner
Four Time Winning Skipper, The America's Cup


Four time winning skipper Dennis Conner won the America's Cup in 1974, 1980, 1987 and 1988. He also won more than 100 America's Cup Trial races throughout his career. Conner was actively involved in the planning, organizing, fund-raising, design, staffing and public relations of his America's Cup Campaigns. No skipper has been more successful in the modern America's Cup in putting together his own campaigns.

As an author and publisher, Conner has recounted the motivation, teamwork and commitment to winning on and off the water in his numerous books. Conner uses these insightful anecdotes and stories of encouragement, motivation and inspired performance to teach the audience that there is "no excuse to lose."

Customer & Partner Case Studies

Our most innovative customers and partners will share real-life case studies of their success using simulation to develop mission-critical solutions. Each case study will include an overview of a working simulation, best practices learned, and a summary of the business results achieved.

Break Out Discussion Groups

The Birds-of-a-Feather break-out discussion groups will be split into three tracks, to provide something for everyone: Business Analysts using iRise, UI / UX designers using iRise, and non-iRise customers. These break-out discussion groups give iRise customers the opportunity to share best practices and methodologies with their peers and non-iRise customers the opportunity to learn more from industry practitioners and experts.
