Later this month, leaders of Chicago’s tech
industry will gather at Illinois Tech’s second TECH-X Awards event to honor
one of our city’s leading corporate citizens, a visionary for electronic
trading, and the longest serving director in CME’s history, Jack Sandner. We thought it important to share details regarding this
evening’s festivities, and invite you to participate. Chicago’s only tech-focused university, Illinois Tech, is positioned to become a nationally recognized leader in computing and computing technology within the next five years, which includes building a workforce skilled in computational science and problem solving. Our Active Computational Thinking (ACT) Center is one way that we will accomplish this goal. The ACT Center will provide critical aid to partners in Chicago and beyond who seek to apply computational thinking in new ways. The ACT Center will also be a conduit for partners whose interests match core research areas of Illinois Tech’s Department of Computer Science: big data, cloud computing, cyber security, and computational science. TECH-X will benefit the ACT Center. TECH-X takes place Monday, June 24 at the Skylight Board of Trade and will benefit Illinois Tech’s ACT Center. Jack is a true technology pioneer and will be honored alongside Illinois Tech alumnus Hazem Dawani, CEO of Predata, who will receive the TECH-X Emerging Leader Award. Kristi Ross, co-CEO and president of tastytrade will lead a conversation with Jack and Hazem focusing on the direction of the financial tech industry. Below you will find the event details; reservations are available at: go.iit.edu/TECHX-2019. Please join us.
