Entrepreneur Speaker, Netflix Co-Founder, National Bestselling Author, Executive Mentor & Angel Investor
Marc Randolph shares the unlikely story of how a handful of dreamers with no money and a bad idea created the company that eventually changed the world. As co-founder and first CEO of Netflix, Marc laid much of the groundwork for a service that's grown to over 200 million subscribers and fundamentally altered how the world experiences media. Join us as he shares stories of successful and unsuccessful tech ventures as an entrepreneur spanning four decades. He's mentored hundreds of early-stage entrepreneurs and, as an investor, has helped seed dozens of successful tech ventures (and just as many unsuccessful ones). Marc is also the author of the internationally best-selling memoir, "That Will Never Work: The Birth of Netflix and the Amazing Life of an Idea."

Fast Company and GS1 US Present:
Wednesday, June 7, 12:00 PM-12:45 PM MT
As COVID-19 disrupted the foundations of commerce as we know it, it also accelerated consumer demand for more convenient and seamless shopping experiences. Three years later, this demand has become an expectation, and retailers are turning to innovative solutions and standards to try to achieve flawless fulfillment for every product in every channel. In this engaging panel discussion, Fast Company will partner with GS1 US to bring brand owner and retailer futurists to GS1 Connect to debate if “frictionless” is an overambitious dream or a soon-to-be-seen digital ecosystem of commerce. Hear how cutting-edge innovation, mind-bending technologies, and the sobering need for standardized data interplay in figuring out the solutions for tomorrow’s frictionless marketplaces.
