For those in businesses affected by AI, I encourage you to attend the May 1, Blockchain, Fintech, and AI Symposium in New York.  It will be a consolidated view of how these technologies affect business operations at the strategic and operational level.  It’s a fast way to get up to speed on how these changing technologies affect you and your job.

For those in the ACG or with products or companies interested in selling to Blockchain, Fintech, or AI companies, there will be an opportunity for you to present your value proposition to interested investors.  View the program below and see the opportunities.

Congratulations to Terrence Xu from Fordham University for winning the ACG Cup yesterday!  Despite stiff competition from the NYU, Baruch, Pace, and St. John teams, and having lost his teammates, Terrence went on to deliver a terrific presentation to the judges and win the competition.  We all agreed, Terrence would make a great employee (hint, hint employers!).

Field Trip to the Explorers Club headquarters in Manhattan with my NYIT Executive MBA students. Entering new markets is like exploration, preparation is the key to success. We are in the Roosevelt Room, at the table where TR signed the Panama Canal treaty. Hoping these young business people will soon be company presidents too!

If anyone is interested in a ticket, let us know.  The event has given us an additional ticket which we are pleased to share.
