Shark alert: Mark Cuban to speak at Phoenix tech innovation summit

PHOENIX – There will be a shark sighting in Phoenix this week.

The Arizona Tech Innovation Summit landed billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban to be the keynote speaker for Wednesday’s sold-out event.

Cuban, who regularly appears as a “shark” investor on the long-running business reality show “Shark Tank,” will appear at The Duce in downtown Phoenix as part of the third annual summit.

The Dallas Mavericks’ owner was No. 478 on Forbes’ 2019 list of the world’s billionaires with an estimated worth of $4.1 billion.

This year’s summit, which is presented by invisionAZ, will also include remarks from Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey and U.S. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema.
