Mike Veeck, part owner of at least five minor league and independent league baseball teams, will host the “Fun Is Good” Veeck Conference this year in Fort Myers, Florida.  The conference will be held at the Sanibel Harbour Resort and Spa on October 23-24, 2008.

The principles behind Veeck’s well-known ballpark promotions can be applied throughout the business world.  Who couldn’t benefit from a philosophy that is subtitled “How to Create Joy and Passion in Your Workplace“?!

Mike is the son of Bill Veeck, the famous Major League Baseball team owner and innovator.  The senior Veeck might be best remembered for pinch hitting 3-foot 7-inch tall Eddie Gaedel for the St. Louis Browns and for an out-of-control Disco Demolition night at the Chicago White Sox’s old Comiskey Park.
