Qlik® (NASDAQ: QLIK), a leader in data discovery, today announced that renowned entrepreneur and investor Mark Cuban will deliver the headline keynote speech at the 2014 Qlik World Conference, which takes place November 17 – 20 at the Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando.

Mark Cuban, best known as the owner of the National Basketball Association’s Dallas Mavericks and one of the “shark” investors of ABC-TV’s “Shark Tank,” is a serial entrepreneur turned billionaire. Mr. Cuban will tell attendees about how he makes decisions in all areas of his businesses and how data plays a part in his assessments, analysis, and judgment calls.

Joining this star-studded lineup is the band behind #1 hits “Walkin’ On The Sun” and “All Star” – Smash Mouth – who will perform its brand of pop and rock on the main stage. The band’s distinctive covers, including “I’m A Believer” and “Why Can’t We Be Friends,” performed in the inimitable Smash Mouth style have been featured in several film and TV programs.
