Chicago Tech Takeover (Thursday, The Future of Computing)
Future of Computing + AI Adoption Day — Chicago Tech Takeover / Thursday, April 2 @ TechNexus
Artificial intelligence is not just a technology shift — it’s a structural change in how organizations communicate, compete, and grow. This session explores what practical AI adoption looks like for businesses and municipalities navigating a rapidly evolving landscape.
Hosted at TechNexus, the day features presentations including Andy Crestodina on the future of B2B marketing in an AI-driven economy, alongside conversations about how companies and civic institutions can expand intelligently: thoughtful regulation, interoperable innovation ecosystems, and new models that connect capital, talent, and emerging ventures.
The focus is on building durable infrastructure for innovation — communities that match buyers and builders, investors and operators, talent and opportunity — while preserving trust, accountability, and long-term competitiveness.
This program is designed for executives, founders, policymakers, investors, and anyone responsible for guiding organizations through the next era of computing.
