Corporate A-listers visit Microsoft
Seattle PI | at | by Mike
Don't be surprised a few months from now if some blockbuster corporate deal traces its origins to the hallways of Microsoft's conference center.
More than 115 executives from some of the world's biggest companies gathered Wednesday in Redmond for Microsoft's CEO Summit. The closed-door event, in its 12th year, offers the high-powered attendees sessions on the latest in business and technology -- with chances for wheeling and dealing in between.
Microsoft is keeping the guest list under especially tight wraps this year, naming only perennial attendee Warren Buffett and some well-known journalists who were let inside to lead sessions, such as Charlie Rose, Michael Kinsley, Maria Bartiromo and Thomas Friedman.
