Deepak Chopra To Be Guest Speaker at WPC

Microsoft's guest speaker at the 2012 Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference in Toronto this July will be mind-body medicine pioneer Deepak Chopra.

Chopra has written 64 books, including 19 New York Times bestsellers, according to his speaker bio. Notable recent titles include  War of the Worldviews, Peace is the Way and The Soul of Leadership.

Microsoft normally reserves the final keynote of the conference for a general-interest keynote from a high-profile speaker. Previous WPC guest speakers have included Sir Richard Branson and former President Bill Clinton.
