Last week we hosted the 2nd annual Innovation Day as part of Philly Tech Week presented by Comcast.

The sold-out event highlighted work being done by different agencies around the city who are infusing emerging technology into their work to push the limits of what can be done. Couldn’t make it? Read on to find out more about what each of the speakers covered!

• Lisha Davis, Head of Innovation Studio, Vanguard: Lisha discussed corporate intrapreneurship to highlight elements of Vanguard’s operating model and the observations/lessons they’ve learned to date.
• Todd Zielinski, Sr. Director of Electrical Engineering, Bresslergroup: Todd covered what Bresslergroup is doing with IoT and how they launched Sencity, a smart-city platform. In addition, he discussed the things his team learned and how it relates to both consumers and clients. More can be found in his presentation.
• Mike Gadsby, CXO and Co-founder, Lauren Slattery, Head of UX Strategy, and Dan Laufer, Developer of O₃ World: The three of them talked about how O3 infuses innovation into everyday projects through the O₃ Labs program and how we validate and make this work for clients.
• Anatoly Polinsky, Director of Zeros and Ones, Chariot Solutions: He discussed how the world of blocks and chains works and what it really means for Chariot’s clients. More in his slides.
• Brett Bagenstose, The Baron of Pixels, Neo-Pangea: To round out our day, Brett discussed how his team uses WebVR to bring the technology to more people in a simpler way.
