What most people don't know is that Burnett has his own survival story to tell, and it's every bit as riveting as the show. A decade ago, he was selling t-shirts on the beach in Southern California. But through a combination of inspiration, determination and sheer nerve, he transformed his life and went on to produce Emmy-winning programs. He reveals how to achieve business and personal success by embracing risk and leading with compassion.

Speaker
Darren Huston, President & CEO, Microsoft Co. Ltd., Japan and Corporate Vice President
Presider
Jun Makihara, Chairman, Neoteny Co., Ltd.; Director, Japan Society, Inc.
Japan is one of the greatest IT nations on this planet, with an annual IT spending exceeding $100 billion. Now 20 years after Microsoft entered Japan, Darren Huston has led the firm to re-committing itself to Japan. After becoming President and CEO of Microsoft Japan last July, Mr. Huston launched Plan-J to invest more in Japan, to partner more deeply with the Japanese government, academia and industry, and to bring innovation to realize the digital work-style and life-style in Japan. While Mr. Huston has driven Microsoft Japan to its fastest growth this decade, endemic challenges continue, including the costs of decade-old investments in "legacy" systems with local standards and proprietary software, a fragmented IT governance that lacks of supply of new people to drive the adoption of global standards, and the digital divide that, despite the advanced nature of Japanese IT, exists in a number of critical industry segments. Mr. Huston will discuss plans to turn these challenges into opportunities, fuelled by the new storm of innovation Microsoft and its partners will be bringing to the market.

Lance ArmstrongEvery Second Counts Seven-time Tour de France Winner National and world champion cyclist, three-time Olympian, renowned humanitarian, role model, cancer survivor, and now seven-time winner of the Tour De France, Lance Armstrong is clearly one of the most celebrated and charismatic contributors to the sport of cycling. He made world headlines in Paris on July 25, 1999 with the most stunning comeback ever in the history of sport. To say that he is an emotional athlete is an understatement; to say that he is a passionate and fearless competitor is evident. However, what may not be so readily apparent is the depth of character and generosity of spirit that is so much a part of the psychological blueprint of this modest and straightforward hero.
