From Dave Ruane, PIC chair:
I want to extend our thanks to all those innovators who entered PIC #15. We appreciate your effort in submitting. We are also delighted to have three fantastic dragons join us for the final: previous dragons Erik Vogt and Ben Cornelius were joined by PIC advisory board member, Alessandra Binazzi. The final in Silicon Valley should be a fantastic show and a must attend for anyone interested in seeing what is actually innovating in our industry. See you there!
The final round takes place on Wednesday, the 11th of October 2023 at LocWorld50 Silicon Valley.
You can watch the final round of the competition and vote for the “Innovator of the Year – USA” award by registering for LocWorld50 Silicon Valley. The PIC#15 preliminary rounds can be viewed online.
NOTE: Voting for the final round will be split between the PIC dragons and the PIC audience and performed in line with the PIC values of fairness and transparency.
