AI & Us
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Building and Selling a company from a CTO's perspective
CTOs Reveal “How I Drove Commercial Success by Leading with Technology”. As the smartest engineers and scientists in the world, in this panel you will learn the secrets of how IIT alumni built three revolutionary products companies that thrilled customers, conquered the competition and led to excellent exits. We will start with the technical underpinnings, then go on building world-class teams and perhaps hear about leap-frogging the competition. Briefly we will touch on one $3.7 billion exit, another sold to a Japanese company and yet another IIT alum who built two startups at the same time! As a bonus, we will have insights from a veteran IIT alum, who was one of the first to build a technical company and become the Chief Operating Officer of a public company. He has since been responsible for advising and investing in many technical unicorns
