Apple CEO Tim Cook to open this year's AllThingsD conference
Apple CEO Tim Cook will be the opening speaker at this year's D: All Things Digital conference. As per reports in AllThingsD, it will be Cook's first onstage appearance at an event not run by Apple or for investors, since taking over as CEO from Steve Jobs last August.
Cook joined Apple in March 1998 and played a key role as the Chief Operating Officer (COO) before he got the top job. Earlier he ran the Macintosh unit and spearheaded worldwide supply chain operations at Apple. After Steve Jobs resigned as CEO citing deteriorating health, Cook was made CEO on August 24, 2011. Under his guidance, Cook made huge strides in innovation and technology, and has done a fine job of steering the company into the most valuable company on the planet.
The D10 will take place in California, from May 29-31. Since its debut in 2003, the All Things Digital Conference has been bringing to the forefront innovation, dialogue and news from top media and technology figures from around the world.
The late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, made 6 appearances at past 'D' conferences. In 2010's conference (D8), he spoke of his company's opposition to Adobe Flash on iOS, as well as the prototype iPhone 4 that went missing at a bar, only to show up with Gizmodo. Jobs also made a memorable appearance on stage with Microsoft's Bill Gates in 2007 at D5.
Tim Cook joins a host of other speakers at D10 - Tony Bates, CEO of Skype, Larry Ellison, Founder and CEO of Oracle and John Partridge, President of Visa are among them.
