It usually takes a big tech conference like All Things D/Code Conf. to pull Tim Cook away from the mothership for a public interview, but this year Apple’s CEO will make his first ever appearance at BoxWorks’ cloud storage-focused conference.
Tim Cook will join Box CEO Aaron Levie on stage at BoxWorks On September 29th in a fireside conversation to talk about the future of work and how iOS will have a transformative impact on enterprise.
The interview is scheduled for the second day of the conference at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, which is pretty much Cook’s home turf when it comes to making public appearances. Cook’s interview is part of Apple’s ongoing effort to gain a wider influence in enterprise.
Apple has partnered with IBM to make over 100 enterprise apps available to companies on iOS by the end of the year. A larger iPad is also reported to be in production in hopes of winning over more professionals to Apple’s tablet that has been suffering from declining sales.
The conference appearance won’t be just about enterprise though, according to Aaron Levie’s blog post announcing Cook’s interview. “Beyond Apple’s unfathomable influence on the technology landscape, I admire Tim immensely as a leader and an individual, and hopefully we can also talk about his impact beyond tech to make the world a better place,” writes Levie.
