Solitary luminaire
Gary Lauer and Rob Lauer, Co-founders, AZ Speakers SeriesGary Lauer is a man with a vision that, in partnership with his son Rob, is being crafted into reality. The vision? Create a powerful series of intellectually stimulating evenings with a few of our world’s most impactful, influential, inspiring individuals. These luminaries are scientists, technologists, innovators, world leaders, and explorers, people who for the most part are well known.  But they also thought it was important that those people have an interesting story to tell based on what they have accomplished in their lives. But what is worthy of a standing ovation? This speaker series started with a desire to bring civil idea sharing back in style. Gary and Rob and their team believe that we can all learn from people, even if we don’t agree. Given that they successfully lined up people like Joe Biden, Jane Goodall and Sanjay Gupta, among others, for the inaugural Arizona Speaker Series , starting in Phoenix this November, one must admit they hit or exceeded the mark. This show made possible due to the generous support of SeaverFranks Architects.
