Montgomery Summit Announces Virtual Lineup

The Montgomery Summit, the investment, business, and technology conference run by Jamie Montgomery, and being run now by March Capital, announced its keynote speakers and presenting companies on Friday, saying it will be running virtually this year--and, for the first time, will be free. The event, which is in its 18th year, typically has been a popular gathering for investors and startups from the technology industry as a whole, including the most promising Southern California startups, and was known for attracting a significant number of out-of-area venture capital and private equity investors. The summit appears to continue to be "invite only", and only open to people who have been invited by the conference to attend. The Montgomery Summit said that keynote speakers at the summit this year include Eric Yuan, Founder & CEO, Zoom; Bill McDermott, President & CEO, ServiceNow; Deepak Chopra, M.D., Founder, The Chopra Foundation; Ruzwana Bashir, Founder & CEO, Peek.com; Darius Adamczyk, CEO, Honeywell; Jim Whitehurst, President, IBM; Jennifer Tejada, CEO, PagerDuty; Vasant Prabhu, Vice Chairman & CFO, Visa; Francis deSouza, President & CEO, Illumina; Cristiano Amon, President & CEO-elect, Qualcomm; and Alexa von Tobel, Founder & Managing Partner, Inspired Capital.
