Welcome to the Arena
Welcome to the Tech Arena, a new media platform delivering authentic conversations with the leading technology innovators. As a veteran of the industry, having worked on innovations as far reaching as cloud computing, 5G networks, and AI, I have heard a lot of stories from companies inventing technology and those tapping this technology to create business opportunity or societal advancement. I’m a great believer that technology is the foundational change agent in society today, so the work being delivered across the tech arena is inspirational. The stories we hear, however, can sometimes be pigeonholed into overused hero vs villain archetypes or perhaps stories that are uniquely focused on a subset of our true community. There are other voices out there just waiting to be heard.
I left my corporate career after leading organizations at some of the largest names in tech to launch the TechArena because I strongly believe that we’re all seeking a different dialogue. One that isn’t afraid to highlight stories from both tech titans and scrappy disruptors delivering something that will push us all forward. We’ll roll up our sleeves and go two clicks down to not just discuss the what but also the how and why of an innovator’s aim and intention. And you’ll hear a broader array of voices on this channel…yes, the women of tech including yours truly, but also a diversity of technology roles, teams from locations across the globe, and stories that may not have be grabbing the headlines but have the opportunity to push us forward to the benefit of all.
There was no better place to launch the TechArena for me than Supercomputing 2022. This annual conference features not only the largest scale computing on the planet, it is also a nexus for the scientific community to congregate to discuss what insights were delivered to us in the past year due to the contributions of technology and what they collectively need from the tech industry to reach those next exploration breakthroughs. Today’s targets focus on unlocking the foundations of life, mitigating climate impact and exploring the farthest reaches of the galaxy. This week, I’m looking forward to hearing more about infrastructure advancements to address the convergence of HPC and AI, how we’ll meet the growing challenge of energy efficiency for large scale compute clusters, and how we’ll continue to feed larger and larger models for research team analysis.
So check out the podcasts, blogs and content drops, please follow the TechArena on Twitter, LinkedIn and other social sites, and subscribe to our feeds on Soundcloud, Substack or wherever you get your content. And I’d love to hear from you with feedback on this program, interest in collaborating, and suggestions about who you’d like to see in the arena. Thanks for engaging. - Allyson
