Calvin Ayre “Speaking” (BAC 2009)
The Bodog founder is quite a character. Unlike any of our other speakers, he would not be happy with simply walking in and saying his piece. First we were treated to a salsa dancing opening act, followed by golden body contortionists and then a full carnival style party/dance show, only to reveal the mysterious “man in a mask” to be no one else but Calvin Ayre himself. He then proceeded to give his keynote speech with a personal midget butler at hand ready to serve him refreshments as he recounted how he founded one of the most successful brands in gambling.
