Mark Murphy, Green Bay Packers
Mark Murphy, the president and chief executive officer of the Green Bay Packers, will speak in-person mid-day Monday, March 20, at the 10th annual Wisconsin Tech Summit at Lambeau Field in Green Bay.
Murphy is in his 16th year at the helm with the Packers. The organization ranks as one of the NFL’s top franchises, with successful operations on and off the field. Murphy will discuss what the state and local economies mean to the Packers, as well as the role of the franchise in the development of TitletownTech and the larger Titletown District.
This keynote is sponsored by Concordia University.
“Every football fan is aware of the Packers’ storied history on the field. The organization is increasingly known these days for its expanded role in the economies of Green Bay and Wisconsin,” said Tom Still, president of the Wisconsin Technology Council, which produces the Tech Summit.
“The 34-acre Titletown District immediately west of Lambeau, which includes TitletownTech, is a shining example of that investment,” Still said. “We look forward to hearing Mr. Murphy’s thoughts on how it fits into the Packers’ larger vision.”
