RIMS Canada Conference

The RIMS Canada Conference started with a keynote address by John Furlong, CEO of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic & Paralympic Winter Games. Known for his storytelling and innovative leadership style, Furlong recounted the lead-up to the Games and described how he handled seemingly insurmountable setbacks, including the death of Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili, a global recession and the washed-out snow at Cypress Bowl.
