I was lucky enough to be in the room for their final rehearsal (yep… it was in the same room that I gave my I/O talk). However, I could not focus on preparing, because their stories were so powerful and inspiring. Each and everyone had a story that kept the ‘wow’ effect. If you have time this weekend… you won’t regrat it.

It’s a series of TED style short talks from:

• Megan Smith (VP, Google[x])
• Susan Wojcicki (SVP, Ads & Commerce)
• Anna Patterson (VP, Knowledge)
• Johanna Wright (VP, Search and Assist, Android)
• Kathy Kleiman (Founder of the ENIAC Programmers Project)
• Jean Wang (Hardware Lead, Glass)
• Diane Greene (Board of Directors, Google).

So as you can imagen, it’s full of memorable stories, insights, and “ah ha!” moments from being technical leaders inside innovative companies.
