Vancouver Tech Journal Live with Jason Fried

September 11, 2023 by Michal Dziubek

Thursday, September 21

Vogue Theatre

5:30 PM to 8:00 PM

 

Register here: https://lu.ma/jasonfriedstudentreg

 

​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.”

​IN THE NEWS:

  • ​Jason Fried of Basecamp on the Importance of Writing Skills (New York Times)
  • ​This CEO thinks it’s crazy to work more than 40 hours a week (CNN)
  • ​I’m Jason Fried, CEO of Basecamp, and This Is How I Work (Lifehacker)

​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.
