South Florida’s web pioneers to speak

A trio of the biggest names in South Florida technology history will speak during an event Thursday evening (Sept. 25) at Citrix Systems in Fort Lauderdale.

The panelists are:

* Manny Medina, founder of Miami’s Terremark, which developed the NAP of the Americas in Miami and became one of the top global cloud providers. Terremark was acquired by Verizon for $1.4 billion. Medina is now chairman of the Medina Capital VC firm and creator of the hugely successful eMerge Americas tech event.

The panel discussion will be moderated by Chris Fleck, an SFTA board member and vice president of mobility systems and alliances for Citrix Systems (NASDAQ: CTXS), a Fort Lauderdale company that provides secure remote access to data and applications.

 

Fleck, who is also an SFBW columnist, said, “This year is the 20 year anniversary of the Web and South Florida has our share of Internet pioneers. Founders of the companies that developed the Cloud, put Sports info online, and created the world’s largest web hoisting business are all here in our backyard and talking on the panel.”
