Presentations listed below include in-person and virtual keynotes, as well as workshops, fireside chats, and other presentation formats.

• Entrepreneurship by Collaboration

  There are successful maverick entrepreneurs – but they are the exception and stand out because of it. Most successful businesses are built of partnership and collaboration.

  “The results of the group far outweigh those of the individual, every time,” says Bruce Croxon, digital pioneer and co-founder of Lavalife.

  Bruce guides the audience along the exciting and intense entrepreneurial path, describing — through his own experiences and informed insight — what it takes to achieve success in today’s ever faster and demanding entrepreneurial environment.

• Disruption

  Through the network effect of connected devices, we are arguably in the greatest period of change since the Internet was commercialized in the mid 90’s. What is going on, how fast, who is being impacted, and what can today’s businesses do to adapt to an environment where nothing seems to stay the same. Bruce Croxon tackles these questions — and provides answers — head on.

• Building a Corporate Culture by Design, Not Default

  Clear vision and unwavering values are the driving force that built Lavalife into a 100 million dollar business. Often entrepreneurial success is defined retrospectively — not so with Lavalife, whose executive team were early adopters, not only of technology, but of organizational development strategy.

  Bruce Croxon shares his philosophy for business growth and success, and how the impact of decisions guided by core values, benefits recruitment, culture, innovation, and ultimately success.

• Marketing Lessons from a Social Networking Pioneer

  Bruce Croxon shares marketing strategies and tales from the trenches from his vantage point at the helm of the very first on-line social network.

  Having navigated Lavalife from its start in the 80s as Telepersonals, a telephone-based dating service, Bruce recounts how getting on-side emerging trends and influencing societal shifts revolutionized how people connect and led to Lavalife’s 97% brand recognition in Canada.
