• Keynote Featuring Don Bell, Cofounder of WestJet
• Thursday, October 22
• 3:45 p.m.–4:45 p.m.

Don’t miss a conversation with Don Bell, one of the four founders of WestJet. Don has always been widely considered the company’s spiritual leader, a “culture guru” who champions teamwork while emphasizing an upbeat mood. Bell’s ideas and leadership were instrumental in taking a Start-Up airline in 1996 to become one of the few airlines in the world to enjoy quarter after quarter of profitability and sustained double-digit business growth.

In this captivating presentation about building the optimal environment for success, Don tells audiences how a simple formula, coupled with some down to earth common sense principles, was the key to WestJet’s unparalleled corporate culture and customer experience. His compelling messages about people and creating an optimal environment will provoke, enlighten, and offer great takeaway value for Simply Partnership attendees.
