Cross Platforming: A Visionary's Use of Technology

Anthony E. Zuiker

Creator & Executive Producer of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

Zuiker is the creator and executive producer of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, one of the highest-rated dramas in television history, receiving an astounding 28 Emmy nominations and a regular slot in the Nielsen Top 10.

Zuiker's trek to the pinnacle of success is a legendary Hollywood rags-to-riches story. As a struggling young writer, Zuiker operated a tram for Las Vegas' famed Mirage hotel to make ends meet. Soon enough, his talent for writing brought him to Hollywood. Through endless creativity and determination, he wrote and produced his first feature film, The Runner, and soon followed his success with the launch of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

At the podium, Zuiker takes audiences on a journey from the experiences and ideas that launched his career and the CSI franchise to the cross-platform model he’s used to change television, publishing and business. In the increasingly transparent worlds of business and government, Zuiker encourages audiences to anticipate new technologies and exploit them to improve creativity, strategy, and productivity.
