Keynote Speaker:    Mark Whitacre

Subject of this fall's upcoming Warner Brothers and Steven Soderbergh-directed feature film, "The Informant" starring Matt Damon as Mark Whitacre

Mark Whitacre was the highest-level executive of a Fortune 500 company to become a whistleblower in US history. After blowing the whistle in 1992, Mark then worked undercover with the FBI for 3 years wearing a wire everyday in one of the largest price-fixing cases in history.

His story is an important personal and business ethics lesson about "doing the right thing" as well as a story of hope, family commitment, how to overcome extreme adversity, and how redemption and second chances really do exist in America.
