It’s been almost two weeks since the genius Steve Jobs died from pancreatic cancer. Although his funeral was held last week, his memorial is set for tomorrow. The Wall Street Journal has the details,
Apple Inc. has invited some of Silicon Valley’s biggest names to a memorial service for Steve Jobs Sunday, Oct. 16, according to a copy of the invitation and several invitees.
The event will be held at Stanford University’s campus Sunday evening, according to the invitation. It follows a small private funeral held for the Apple co-founder last week.
The memorial is expected to be attended by Silicon Valley luminaries and others close to Mr. Jobs, said the invitees.
An Apple spokesman said the Sunday event is a private service.
Guests to the invitation-only service were asked to respond to Emerson Collective, a philanthropic organization established by Laurene Powell Jobs, Mr. Jobs’s wife.
As previously reported, Apple also plans to host an event for Apple employees to celebrate Mr. Jobs’s life at its headquarters in Cupertino, Calif., on Oct. 19.
Mr. Jobs died Oct. 5 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.
