Celebrating TiEcon Success in 2014

TiEcon 2014 was the biggest and best

TiEcon yet, attracting over 4,000 attendees

from over 22 different countries who all

came to learn, connect, and prosper.

Attendees ranged from C-level executives

to founders to engineers and more. Nearly

20 keynote speeches, along with fireside

chats and panels, covered topics like

Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, Cloud

Infrastructure, Healthcare IT, and of

course, Entrepreneurship. Speakers

included Steve Mollenkopf, CEO of

Qualcomm; Steve Lucas, President of

Platform Solutions at SAP; Sandy Carter,

GM of IBM; and more. Alongside the talks

and speeches ran the Expo floor, with over

140 exhibitors, and the TiE50 Awards,

which honored tech startups in life

sciences, software, and energy industries.

As the conference came to an end,

attendees were treated to a fashion show

by haute couture designer Shekhar

Rahate, along with dance performances

and a comedy show. With the success of

TiEcon 2014 comes a new inspiration to

make TiEcon 2015 even more spectacular

than ever!
