Changing a paradigm thousands of years old: Digitizing waiting
Alex Backer, Founder & CEO, QLess,

When Alex Bäcker, Caltech Ph.D. class of 2002, got stuck waiting in line on 11/23/06, he decided to change a paradigm that had held sway since the time of Egyptian paradigms and had since spread to every continent: waiting in line. This interactive talk will get attendees thinking about how they would reinvent the process of waiting in line and offer glimpses into a decade-long trajectory to go from an idea to a platform used by over 100 million users on six continents that has been crowned as the Best Computer Services Company in America for the last 5 consecutive years.
