A Look Back at Day 1 of the 2021 Summit

The Montgomery Summit presented by March Capital is off to an incredible start, and we have another full day of great programming ahead. Our attendees logged in from around the world to hear presentations from private company CEOs, garner insights from phenomenal keynote speakers, and connect with other leaders in the innovation economy.

We were joined by over 100 speakers, tuning in from the US, China, India, Israel, the UK, and other parts of Europe. Attendees enjoyed fireside chats with our stellar keynote speakers Eric Yuan (Zoom), Darius Adamczyk (Honeywell), Jeetu Patel (Cisco), Jim Whitehurst (IBM), and Jennifer Tejada (PagerDuty) as well as thought-provoking panel discussions on The Future of Global Payments and The World of Investing Post-COVID. Videos of our plenary sessions will be available on MontyTV in the coming weeks.

We love the energy and insights we found at The Female Entrepreneur Program yesterday afternoon. Ruzwana Bashir (Peek.com) spoke about her company’s growth opportunity and innovation post-COVID-19, and Alexa Von Tobel (Inspired Capital) advice to fellow entrepreneurs was to LITTP—Lean In To The Pain—when building a company.

Our presenting companies were stellar, and we heard that our new format of sector overviews provide great insight into specific verticals, such as Securing the Cloud Economy, The Reinvention of the Bank, Automating Revenue Creation, and The Future of Cloud-Based Data Infrastructure. Additionally, we were treated a series of presentations and fireside chats with the heads of market- leading companies including Bipul Sinha (Rubrik) with John Chambers, Peter McKay (Snyk) with Fred Havemeyer, Gary Hoberman (Unqork) with Paul Walker, and Bill Richter (Qumulo) with Matt McIlwain.
