Keynote Presenters Include:

Rick Alden, CEO, Skullcandy

Rick is the CEO of Skullcandy and founded the company in 2003. A graduate of the University of Colorado, he has always maintained a passion for action sports and believes that “no good idea ever came from behind a desk.” In 2003, Alden formed Skullcandy with the goal of designing products that offered a solution and that also fit into his active lifestyle. It was never Alden’s intention to be a ‘one product pony’, coming from the snowboard & skateboard industries, he set out to develop core audio products that would speak to this heavy iPod & cell phone using demographic. Five years after the first round of trade shows, Alden has created 35 skews of headphones that are now on the market under the Skullcandy name.

Chris Tsakalakis, General Manager, eBay Tickets / StubHub

Chris led eBay's acquisition of StubHub in 2007 and is General Manager of the combined eBay Tickets / StubHub business, responsible for full P&L and post-merger integration. Chris has been an eBay Marketplaces executive since 2003. Prior to joining eBay Tickets, Chris managed the Advanced Solutions Group which provides solutions for advanced buyers and sellers and includes eBay Stores, ProStores, Trading Platforms, Seller Marketing and Tools, the eBay Developers program and Shipping. Over a 3-and-a-half-year period, he managed the development and growth of the eBay Stores subscriber base from 50,000 to more than 260,000.
