Business leaders, technology innovators, students, faculty, and staff all attended the conference today. Attendees heard about the importance of innovation in the economy, learned about cloud computing, and saw a demonstration of facial recognition software, among other topics. Local companies Prepared Response, Serra Media, Avue Technology, NewTech, and Internet Identity all sat on a panel to discuss the local technology industry.
The Business Examiner has a short article about the conference:
While the term "tech sector" was used to grow products during the dot.com boom and bust 10 years ago, the sector has evolved to include more about innovation, said Economic Development Commission of Washington Executive Director Egils Milbergs.
"Innovation is about solving customer problems," he said.
Thank you to all who attended and all who presented!
