Smart business.
To find and celebrate the technologists whose products are being used at scale — not the loudest launch of the year.
The summit runs as a working day: technical keynotes, product teardowns, and a hiring and investment floor for scaling teams.
The technology awards are judged on shipped work and measurable adoption. Judges include CTOs and investors with no commercial relationship to the nominees.
