DCW Opening Ceremonies Featuring Alex Rodriguez
Tuesday, January 21 | 8:00 am – 9:00 am
Westgate – Lobby Level – Paradise Event Center

Baseball legend-turned-business powerhouse Alex Rodriguez will headline the Design & Construction Week® Opening Ceremonies.
Best known for his unparalleled accomplishments on the baseball field, Alex Rodriguez is a 3-time MVP, a 14-time all-star and a 2009 World Series Champion with the New York Yankees.
Over the course of his iconic baseball career, Mr. Rodriguez also built a tremendously successful investment firm. As founder and Chief Executive Officer of A-Rod Corp he created a fully-integrated real estate investment and development firm, starting with the purchase of a single duplex in 2003 and subsequently broadening to a wider array of industries, including sports and wellness, media, and entertainment.
Mr. Rodriguez will be stepping in for Earvin “Magic” Johnson, who regretfully had to withdraw from the DCW Opening Ceremonies due to the timing of the memorial in New York City for former NBA commissioner David Stern, where he will be delivering a eulogy.
