The Annual AeA Technology for Government
Dinner is the premier Washington, DC networking event bringing hundreds of
industry, congressional, and government leaders together at one venue.
Last year more than 600 people attended the dinner including Chief
Information Officers and procurement officials from countless federal
agencies, Members of Congress and their staff, officials from the Bush
Administration, and CEOs and senior executives
representing high-tech companies.
The keynote speaker for the 2008 dinner
will be Steve Ballmer, Chief Executive Officer,
Microsoft Corporation.
Mr. Ballmer joins a list of many of tech’s top executives who have spoken
before this unique audience of Government and industry leaders. These
former keynotes include:
AeA, founded in 1943 by David Packard, is
the largest non-profit high-tech trade association in the United States
with about 2,500 companies, representing all segments of the industry and
1.8 million employees. Currently, AeA has 18 offices in the U.S., as well
as offices abroad in Brussels and Beijing. The AeA Technology 4 Government
Dinner has become the premier annual Washington, DC, Government-Industry
technology networking event.

Steve Ballmer
Chief Executive Officer
Microsoft Corporation
 |
Steven A. Ballmer is
Chief Executive Officer of Microsoft Corporation, the world's
leading manufacturer of software for personal and business
computing. Ballmer joined Microsoft in 1980 and was the first
business manager hired by Bill Gates. Since then, Ballmer’s
leadership and passion have become hallmarks of his tenure at the
company.
During the past 20
years, Ballmer has headed several Microsoft divisions, including
operations, operating systems development, and sales and support. In
July 1998, he was promoted to President, a role that gave him
day-to-day responsibility for running Microsoft. He was named CEO in
January 2000, assuming full management responsibility for the
company, which includes delivering on the company’s mission of
enabling people and businesses throughout the world to realize their
full potential.
Together with Gates and
the company’s other business and technical leaders, Ballmer is
focused on continuing Microsoft’s innovation and leadership across
the company’s seven businesses. Microsoft’s goal is to provide an
integrated platform to enable a seamless experience across a wide
range of computing and non-PC devices and services.
Variously described as
ebullient, focused, funny, passionate, sincere, hard-charging and
dynamic, Ballmer has infused Microsoft with his own brand of
energetic leadership, vision and spirit over the years.
Ballmer was born in
March 1956, and grew up near Detroit, where his father worked as a
manager at Ford Motor Co. He graduated from Harvard University with
a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and economics. While in college,
Ballmer managed the football team, worked on the Harvard Crimson
newspaper as well as the university literary magazine, and lived
down the hall from fellow sophomore Bill Gates. After college,
he worked for two years at Procter & Gamble Co. as an assistant
product manager and, before joining Microsoft, attended Stanford
University Graduate School of Business. |
