Last week Vation Ventures hosted our 8th?Global Summit (formally Forum) in Denver, CO, and it was our best one yet. The technology industry is changing every second with the emergence and continuous acceleration of AI. Here are some of the key takeaways from the Summit: - The technology executive’s role is evolving from a technology-first-mindset to a growth catalyst focus—they must expand from driving internal outcomes within their business to strategic enablement on growing the business. - The technology channel needs to evolve to support the technology executive in everything that they’re driving moving forward. This isn’t limited to just technology but encompasses business strategy, leadership, governance and internal collaboration, amongst others. - We made some bold predictions on the changes VC firms will experience due to the shifting nature of founder’s having the ability to create new companies leveraging fewer resources by utilizing AI—allowing founders to avoid having to take dilutive funding. It’s more important than ever for the collective technology ecosystem to evolve—as they’re the ones with the power to drive the AI Revolution. This revolution will afford companies the capabilities to create gaps for those who are able to capitalize on the opportunity, and for those who don’t, these competitive gaps in the market will become daunting and potentially unreachable. AI aside, we were all fortunate to have experienced one of the best leadership keynotes we have ever seen, given by Sparky Austin Renforth. Following that presentation, Drew Cooper (drewcoopermusic.com) drove such an incredible experience for the attendees – thank you both! Thank you to our sponsors, executive attendees and the Vation Ventures team who made this event a success. Special thanks to Anne Conway and Suvannah Day for making it a can’t miss experience!

The future of tech just got a little sharper in Denver!?We're proud to sponsor Vation Ventures Global Summit 2024, where we’ve joined an inspiring community of global technology leaders over the past two days. Our COO, Brad Pace, wrapped an insightful panel on "Evolving Security Posture Management: Responding to the Expanding Threat Landscape," alongside fellow innovators Nanda Krish of Z5 Capital, Adriano Soares Koshiyama of Holistic AI, and Arram Han from ExodusPoint Capital Management, LP, moderated by Frank Daidone of Vation Ventures. Brad highlighted a crucial point around AI: "The excitement around AI is undeniable, but there’s a flipside: the risk of failing at scale. When a bot provides the wrong information, it can impact many customers instantly. That’s why taking a services led approach to AI is critical—it helps ensure that any mistakes aren’t fatal to your business." A big thanks to Vation Ventures for providing a space where meaningful connections can thrive, and new solutions can emerge. #EcosystemLeadership #TechInnovation #VVGlobalSummit Ryan Knapp Curtis Brinkerhoff
