On Monday, April 28th, Alexis Ohanian was the keynote speaker at the 2014 Next Big Thing Conference at Murray State University. Alexis Ohanian, graduate of UVA, is the co-founder of the social media website, reddit. Alexis was invited to address young people participating in the Next Big Thing Conference, an event inviting young entrepreneurs from western Kentucky to Murray State and allowing them the opportunity to present new and unique ideas and inventions. The event is sponsored by the Innovation and Commercialization Center (ICC) at Murray State University.

Alexis also has a new book out, detailing the efforts he and his co-founder, Steve Huffman, encountered while developing reddit. "Without Their Permission: The 21st Century Will Be Made, Not Managed" provides commentary and insights to people looking for advice and knowledge in working through their own start-up woes.
