Morgridge, Doyle to keynote economic summit

Two prominent UW System graduates — John P. Morgridge, chair of the board of Cisco Systems, and Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle — will serve as keynote speakers at Wisconsin Economic Summit IV, Oct. 27-28, at the Midwest Airlines Center in Milwaukee.

Morgridge will share his thoughts on the outlook for technology, the nation’s economic future and what states like Wisconsin can do to remain competitive in the global economy at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 28.

At 11 a.m., Doyle will discuss details of his “Grow Wisconsin” initiative, his vision for leading the state to a better economy and a broader prosperity.

The afternoon of Monday, Oct. 27, features more than two dozen workshops on economic development. Tuesday’s agenda also includes in-depth presentations on regional economic development and the health-care-cost crisis; an update on industry clusters; and a panel discussion about the Wisconsin business climate by legislative, business and administration leaders.
