EXCERPT (SPEAKER BIO):
Dennis Conner Seven-time Winner of the America’s Cup
Keynote speaker Dennis Conner gives audiences “no excuse to lose” with tips for success from his own remarkable sailing record. He’s led his team through an unprecedented nine America’s Cup campaigns, with seven wins. Though the Cup is the symbol of his victories, Mr. Conner has also captured many other prestigious awards, including a bronze medal in the 1976 Olympic Games.
No skipper in modern America’s Cup history has been more successful in putting together his own America’s Cup campaigns. As an author and publisher, Mr. Conner has recounted the motivation, teamwork and commitment it takes to win on and off the water in his books Learn to Sail, No Excuse to Lose and numerous others.
In 1987, Mr. Conner combined his passion for sailing with his talent for business by starting Dennis Conner Sports, Inc. Over the years, he has worked with hundreds of major corporate clients on product endorsements, sailing events and sponsorships.
Mr. Conner has been a member of the San Diego Yacht Club for more than forty years and has served on their board for nine years. He studied business at San Diego State University.
