SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - February 17, 2011) - The [ Churchill Club ], Silicon Valley's premier business and technology forum, today announced its evening event, "[ Scott McNealy in Conversation with Ed Zander ]." The event offers a unique opportunity to hear Scott McNealy, co-founder and former chairman and CEO of Sun Microsystems, in a candid and personal conversation with Ed Zander, former chairman and CEO of Motorola and past president of Sun, about the legacy of Sun, the changing industry, our connected world and more.

The event coincides with the 29^th anniversary of Sun's founding on Feb. 24, 1982.

Last year Oracle acquired Sun for over $7 billion.

Zander, who has played a critical role in the evolution of the tech industry, will be interviewing McNealy, who led Sun for 22 years.
