Do you have a question for Kevin O'Leary? The Shark Tank judge may answer it at his Maverick Speakers Series appearance at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 16, at College Park Center. Send questions to maverickcommunications@uta.edu or share it via social media using #maverickspeakers. Questions selected will be shared during the question-and-answer session following his lecture.
The frank and opinionated O'Leary is one of North America’s leading business moguls. O’Leary’s track record in business success began with The Learning Company, a software development organization that he sold to Mattel for $3.7 billion, making it one of the largest tech deals in Canadian history. As an “eco-preneur,” O’Leary focuses on investments that make money while being environmentally friendly. He is also co-host for Discovery Channel’s Discovery Project Earth and is the author of three best-selling Cold Hard Truth books.
VIP packages include a private dinner and photograph with the speaker. Preferred seating has front-of-the-line access to the venue. The lecture is free for students, faculty, and staff and costs $5 for community members. LEARN MORE.
