Entrepreneur, author and minority owner of Atlanta Hawks will share secrets of a successful, daring life
TREVOSE, PA – May 4, 2018 – The Advertising Specialty Institute® (ASI) today announced Marquis Jet co-founder, best-selling author and entrepreneur Jesse Itzler will headline the 2018 ASI Power Summit, October 14-16, in Tucson, AZ.
Registration is open for the 12th annual three-day gathering of top entrepreneurs, multinational CEOs and small-business owners from throughout the $23.6 billion promotional products industry. Itzler (@the100MileMan) will be the Power Summit’s main keynoter, the highlight of a packed agenda that includes soon-to-be-announced speakers and panelists who will energize and empower participants while providing new business contacts and bold business strategies for the future.
“Prepare to be amazed,” said Timothy M. Andrews, president and chief executive officer of ASI. “Jesse Itzler’s keynote is an exclusive opportunity to be informed, inspired and wowed by one of the most successful and unique entrepreneurs on the planet. It’s certain to be a highlight of the Power Summit, which is considered the industry event of the year.”
Itzler sold Marquis Jet, the world’s largest private jet card company, to Berkshire Hathaway/NetJets, and then partnered with Zico coconut water, which he and his partner sold to The Coca-Cola Company. The ultra-marathon runner and former MTV rapper is married to Sara Blakely, the world’s youngest self-made female billionaire and Spanx founder.
Wired magazine National Advertising Director Andy Sonnenberg said of hearing Itzler speak at a sales conference, “His discipline and focus to get better every day, told through his unconventional personal experiences, were impactful, on-point and extremely entertaining.”
The 2018 ASI Power Summit takes place at the JW Marriott Starr Pass Hotel & Spa, the largest luxury resort in Tucson, featuring mountain views, hiking trails, a natural desert setting and three Arnold Palmer-designed nine-hole championship golf courses. The resort is 12 miles from Tucson International Airport, 115 miles southeast of Phoenix and 70 miles north of Mexico, in a valley surrounded by five mountain ranges.
