DIG SOUTH Tech Summit announced its 2019 speaker lineup featuring 81 leading executives and entrepreneurs, including:
Greg McKeown, New York Times bestselling author of the book Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less, will headline the event. In Essentialism, Greg McKeown draws on experience and insight from working with the leaders of the most innovative companies in the world to show how to achieve the disciplined pursuit of less. By applying a more selective criteria for what is essential, the pursuit of less allows us to regain control of our own choices so we can channel our time, energy, and effort into making the highest possible contribution toward the goals and activities that matter. Essentialism isn’t one more thing; it is a different way of doing everything.
DIG SOUTH session topics will include Embracing the Bots: How Companies Are Using the Cloud Plus AI and other Machine-Learning Strategies to Empower Clients; Perfecting Your Pitch – Why Personal Branding Matters, Especially for Women Leaders; Using Tech to Empower Advocates and Engage New Generations; and dozens more.
DIG SOUTH will also produce its sixth annual “Wild Pitch” event within the Summit. Billed as “The South’s Capitol of Capital,” Wild Pitch features 22 early to growth-stage startups, plus an additional pitch event presented by Queen City Fintech (QC FinTech), an accelerator based in Charlotte, NC.
