AITP Chicago's Boost Innovation Focus Group Meeting 

 

AITP Chicago's is proud to announce our new focus group:

How does the Chicago area "stack-up" against other technology regions in the country?  How do we keep and increase that position; together?  It's a fact that a key ingredient to a vibrant, healthy community that creates and sustains technology career opportunities is an environment that promotes innovation.

Come join your Chicago area colleagues in kicking off a collaborative effort to maximize technology capabilities to boosting innovation and provide sustained career opportunities in the Chicago area.

We will focus on three main segments for the evening: 

  1. A walk through of the Boost Innovation initiative that will focus on development of a comprehensive Chicago area plan leveraging strengths and addressing challenges of Chicago area technology capabilities and what is needed to boost innovation.
  2. Light snacks, drinks and networking
  3. A discussion with a local technology leader serving as a model for boosting innovation in Chicago through technology:    
  • Speaker: Sanjib Sahoo, CTO of OptionMonster Holdings
    • Visionary architect of OptionMonster’s  innovative, award winning technology platform
    • Sanjib will share the innovative corporate entrepreneurial strategy and team work deployed to overcome many challenges to grow their Chicago company from a small one room startup in 2006 to the top trading brand in the nation whose technology platform is ranked #1 across all online trading companies across North America.
