WILTON, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SiriusDecisions, the leading global business-to-business (b-to-b) research and advisory firm, today announced bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell will deliver the keynote address at its 9th annual SiriusDecisions Summit, taking place May 21-23, at the Hyatt Regency in Orlando, FL. His speech will complement the Summit’s “Transforming Sales, Marketing and Product” theme, drawing from concepts previously explored in his writings and experiences, spanning his illustrious career. Gladwell will also participate in an intimate, invite-only Executive Leadership Exchange, providing attendees with an interactive and exclusive experience, tailored specifically around questions and feedback from participants.
Recognized as one of TIME magazine’s 100 most influential people and Foreign Policy’s Top Global Thinkers, Gladwell has also authored five New York Times bestsellers. He has explored how ideas spread in The Tipping Point, decision-making in Blink, and the roots of success in Outliers. In his latest, David and Goliath, he examines our understanding of the advantages of disadvantages, arguing that we have underestimated the value of adversity and over-estimated the value of privilege. He has also been a staff writer for The New Yorker since 1996.
