How Purpose Led to Airbnb Success Leigh Gallagher Assistant Managing Editor, Fortune Magazine
With a new book released in February 2017, The Airbnb Story: How Three Ordinary
Guys Disrupted an Industry, Made Billions . . . and Created Plenty of Controversy,
(Feb. 2017) Fortune’s Leigh Gallagher explores the remarkable behind-the-scenes story
of the creation and growth of Airbnb. In fewer than nine years, it has gone from oddball
idea no investor would touch to cultural phenomenon. At first just the wacky idea of co-
founders Brian Chesky, Joe Gebbia, and Nathan Blecharczyk, Airbnb has disrupted
the $500 billion hotel industry, and its $30 billion valuation is now larger than that of Hilton and close to that of Marriott. This is the first book solely dedicated to the
phenomenon of Airbnb and is also the first in depth study of Airbnb's leader, Brian
Chesky, the quirky and curious young CEO, as he steers the company into new markets
and increasingly uncharted waters.
Participants will receive an autographed copy of Leigh Gallagher’s new book.

Leading with Purpose Adriana Aristizabal Award winning war reporter Interviewed by
Cynthia Hudson – #12 of the Most Powerful Latinas
Senior Vice President, General Manager of CNN en Español and Hispanic Strategy CNN Today, Colombia’s peace process commands the attention and interest of the global community. But peace came at a price. While Caught in the Storm of War (York House Press, Feb. 2017) is a fascinating memoir from Adriana Aristizabal, a then 26-year-old single mother and journalist assigned by RCN Newscast to broadcast live shots from the frontlines, sometimes with the bullets flying around her, at height of the conflict between FARC, ELN, Paramilitaries and the Colombian Army. You’ll meet a special woman, a powerful leader, but most of all, a brave soul, who survived being kidnapped, and death threats to her family from the world’s oldest guerrilla group. She pays tribute to more than 150 brave journalists killed during this conflict. The Congress of Colombia honored Adriana with a proclamation exalting her job as a war reporter. In 2014, El Diario La Prensa in New York named her an “Outstanding Woman” for her efforts in the field of art and culture. Participants will receive an autographed copy of her new book.
