Resort Legend Steve Wynn to Keynote at EFI Connect 2016
November 17 2015 - 9:25AM
Electronics For Imaging, Inc. (Nasdaq:EFII) today announced that
famed resort and gaming entrepreneur Steve Wynn, founder, CEO and
chairman of Wynn Resorts (Nasdaq:WYNN), will give a keynote
presentation followed by a Q&A session at EFI™ Connect, the
company’s annual users’ conference scheduled for January 19-22,
2016 at Wynn, Las Vegas. The resort magnate’s session will close
out the first day at Connect, which is one of the printing
industry’s largest and longest-running users’ group events.
Steve Wynn is a legend in the resort business and the man who
created the Golden Nugget — the first destination resorts in Las
Vegas and Atlantic City — through a 1971 transaction with Howard
Hughes. Projects following his Golden Nugget successes included the
landmark Mirage, Treasure Island and Bellagio resort-casinos,
igniting a construction boom that catapulted Las Vegas into
America’s number one tourist destination. Today, his Wynn and
Encore resorts in Las Vegas and Macau carry on that tradition as
the entrepreneur nears completion on a major expansion in Macau and
begins an ambitious new project in Boston.
“Next year will be the 10th anniversary of EFI hosting Connect
at Wynn, Las Vegas, and there are very good reasons we continue to
choose this exceptional venue,” said Guy Gecht, EFI’s CEO. “Wynn,
Las Vegas is emblematic of Steve Wynn’s devotion to excellence and
his ability to exceed customer expectations – two things EFI always
strives to offer to our own customers. I am sure Connect attendees
will benefit from hearing his story first-hand to learn what this
thought leader and legendary entrepreneur has done to drive ongoing
success while addressing significant challenges and opportunities
in the course of his career.”
“EFI is passionate about helping small and mid-sized
family-owned businesses be successful,” Wynn said, “a mission that
I am happy to be part of by hosting EFI Connect for the last 10
years and speaking at Connect 2016.”
In honoring Wynn Resorts as one of the World’s Most Admired
Companies for seven years in a row, Fortune stated, “CEO Steve
Wynn’s transformation of mundane hotels and casinos into sparkling
gaming palaces has forever changed Las Vegas.”
A 2006 inductee into the American Gaming Association’s Hall of
Fame, Wynn also has been cited among such luminaries as Bill Gates,
Steve Jobs, Rupert Murdoch, Michael Dell and Warren Buffet as one
of Forbes’ “25 Captains of Capitalism.” In 2014, Harvard Business
Review ranked Wynn number 17 on its list of the “100
Best-Performing CEOs in the World.”
