Facebook chief coming to Butte for upcoming Economic Summit

One of the top social networking officials in the nation will be in Butte this fall to headline the 2013 Montana Economic Summit at Montana Tech.

Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook’s chief operating officer, will tell Montana business leaders at the summit, slated for Sept. 16-17, about social networking’s role in the business development, U.S. Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., announced Thursday at a news conference at Tech.

Sandberg — whom TIME Magazine named among the World’s 100 Most Influential People of 2012 — is among a handful of business officials who will participate in the sixth summit. Others include Tech alum and Conoco Philips CEO Ryan Lance as well as top officials for Boeing and Oracle.

The event, which aims to connect Montana companies with those from out-of-state, is expected to draw more than 2,500 attendees. More than 150 companies are participating and 45 breakout sessions are planned.

The past three summits have been held at Montana Tech.
