Event Producer
The Guidewire Group creates and fosters an environment where relationships and ideas flourish. We connect the people who unleash technology so others can harness it, whose innovations are more about market revolutions than evolutions, and who wonder “why not?” more often than “why”?
At the Guidewire Group, we believe that the innovation ecosystem is comprised of the entrepreneurs and innovators who create ground-breaking new products and services and the investors who fund them, as well as the technology executives who open new markets, the media who cover them, and the early adopters who embrace them. These individuals invest their careers in the early life cycle of a product—from conceptualizing new technologies to achieving an early market. And they rely on symbiotic relationships in the innovation ecosystem to succeed. Guidewire Group was founded to serve and support this ecosystem.
Chris Shipley and other respected high-tech editors analyze emerging products and markets on the Guidewire blog, providing a rich environment for impassioned debate among members. As members expand upon the expert analysis, new theories arise, relationships strengthen, and partnerships develop. In effect, the blog becomes both a soapbox and a reality check for our members—a focused place to share and leverage their unique connections, perspectives and experiences.
Online interaction serves as a powerful introduction to ideas and perspectives, and Guidewire face-to-face events incubate the relationships that help markets mature.
Our face-to-face events are designed to engage and inspire the innovation ecosystem at pivotal moments in their development. The Perspective series brings innovators, investors, and technology executives together to discuss, debate, and decide the real opportunities a new technology presents; the Vision conferences spotlight transforming innovation in existing markets—letting innovators communicate opportunities to early adopters and investors; and the Innovate events highlight emerging trends in established markets.
