I have just returned from an amazing business trip to Chicago and New York where I attended the Intel Capital Technology Days (ITD), a workshop event consisting of structured matchmaking with emerging Intel portfolio companies and leading industry executives.
The event takes place annually, yet always at different locations in cooperation with leading enterprises who invite some of Intel’s top portfolio companies to gain an insight on innovative services and technologies in various fields throughout the world. This time it was held at the Omnicom Group premises in Chicago. Omnicom is one of the world’s largest advertising agency holding companies holding stakes in multinational companies such as BBDO, TBWA Worldwide or DDB Worldwide.
While being the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) for an Intel Capital portfolio company in Tokyo, I was invited to the event not only to represent my company but also to make a presentation on Internet TV distribution and monetization technologies, services as well as related marketing opportunities here in Japan.
