…Balancing Expectations” Opening Keynote John Furlong and General Hillier and many more

renown speakers!


KeynoteSpeakers

JohnFurlong

CEO Vancouver 2010 Olympic & Paralympic Winter Games

Prior to his appointment at VANOC in 2004, Furlong was the President and

Chief Operating Officer for the Vancouver 2010 Bid Corporation. In his role, he

became the Bid’s international face and key spokesperson, tirelessly clocking

more than 1.2 million miles in his travels to promote the Bid. Furlong’s service

to sport has landed him with numerous other forms of recognition – among

them The IOC’s Olympic Order and the IPC’s Paralympic Order.

In April 2012, John Furlong accepted a new position with the Vancouver

Whitecaps FC soccer team, where he serves as Executive Chair. Furlong has been involved with athletics

all his life, having competed at the international level in Basketball, European handball and Squash. He

became Canadian Squash Champion in 1986. Furlong has been a long time member of the Canadian

Olympic Committee and has led many high profile sport organizations in Canada.

He has been recognised by The Globe & Mail as Canada’s Nation Builder of 2010, as one of the top 25

most transformational living Canadians and has been named Canadian of the Year by The Canadian

Club. He is Canada’s 2010 Marketer of the year and Sports Media Canada’s Sports Executive of the

Year. In 2009 Furlong was named Canada’s Most influential Sport Figure by both the Globe and Mail and

the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

Around the Rings Magazine has listed Furlong as one of the worlds top five most influential Olympic

Officials in both 2009 and 2010. He is also Sport BC’s Sportsman of the Decade. John was acclaimed as

the 2004 Canadian Sport Awards’ Sport Leadership Winner for his service to sport in Canada over a

lifetime. He has also won Vancouver’s most prestigious tourism award for the promotion of Vancouver

around the world. He has been awarded Honorary Doctorate Degrees in Laws (2) and Technology(1)

from UBC, The Justice Institute of BC, and BCIT and an Honorary Doctorate in Tourism & Hospitality from

Niagara University, New York, USA.

Born in Tipperary, Ireland, Furlong has five children and eleven grandchildren. His book Patriot Hearts –

Inside the Olympics that changed a country became an instant national bestseller when it was launched

in on February 12, 2011, the one year anniversary of the Games.


GeneralHillier

Former Chief of Defence Staff, Canadian Forces

Born in Newfoundland and Labrador, General Rick Hillier joined the Canadian

Forces as soon as he could. Having enrolled in the Canadian Forces in 1973

through the Regular Officer Training Plan program, he graduated from

Memorial University of Newfoundland in 1975 with a Bachelor of Science

Degree. After completing his armour officer classification training, he joined

his first regiment, the 8th Canadian Hussars (Princess Louise’s) in Petawawa,

Ontario. Subsequently, he served with, and later commanded, the Royal

Canadian Dragoons in Canada and Germany.

Throughout his career, General Hillier has had the privilege and pleasure of commanding troops from the

platoon to multi-national formation level within Canada, Europe, Asia and the United States. He has

worked as a staff officer in several headquarters, first at the Army level in Montreal and later at the

strategic level in Ottawa.

In 1998 General Hillier was appointed as the first Canadian Deputy Commanding General of III Corps, US

Army in Fort Hood, Texas. In 2000 he took command of NATO’s Stabilization Force’s (SFOR)

Multinational Division (Southwest) in Bosnia-Herzegovina. In May 2003 General Hillier was appointed as

Commander of the Army and subsequently, in October 2003, he was selected as the Commander of the

NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Kabul, Afghanistan. General Hillier was

promoted to his present rank and assumed duties as the Chief of the Defence Staff on 4 February 2005.
