Jason Fried is the co-founder and CEO of 37signals, the creators of project management software Basecamp and email platform HEY. He also co-wrote the New York Times bestselling book Rework, about which Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban had this to say: “If given a choice between investing in someone who has read Rework or has an MBA, I’m investing in Rework every time. A must-read for every entrepreneur.”

Fried pioneered the idea that four-day workweeks could actually drive productivity (“When there’s less time to work, you waste less time.”). And nearly a full decade before COVID opened the world’s eyes to telecommuting, Fried and co-founder David Heinemeier Hansson wrote Remote: Office Not Required, the classic guide to working from home. Fried is an innovator, a trailblazer, and a movement-maker.
On September 21, 2023, Fried joins Vancouver Tech Journal and special guests at the Vogue Theatre for an in-depth conversation on technology, the big ideas changing business, and what it all means for the future of entrepreneurship.
