Introducing our 2017 keynote speaker:
Dr. John Furlong, LLD'10
Dr. John Furlong, LLD'10 is well known as a true champion for amateur sport and the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity. His account of leading the 2010 Games and the challenges and opportunities he has faced before and since are both deeply personal and characteristically frank. Through masterful storytelling, he inspires leaders to develop a more humble, human, raw and emotional approach to leadership.
His commitment to sport in Canada continued post-Games with the Vancouver Whitecaps FC soccer team and as the volunteer Chairman of Canada's highly successful Own the Podium program. Most recently he chaired Vancouver's successful bid to host the World Rugby Seven's series starting in 2016 and leads now the Board of Directors for this exciting new annual international rugby tournament.
