In 2008, a glass faucet seller in St. Louis hit a roadblock, he couldn’t make a sale due to an inability to accept credit cards. His predicament sparked an idea, and Square (now called “Block”) was born. By developing a pioneering card reader that connects to a smartphone’s audio port, Square turned the
magnetic stripe of a credit card into audio pulses, revolutionizing mobile payment processing. This innovation has propelled Block (SQ) to generate over $19 billion in revenues in its most recent fiscal year.

In this engaging discussion, Michael, an adjunct professor of innovation at the University of San Francisco, will offer practical tools and techniques to unlock your creativity and elevate your “innovation quotient” (IQ).

overarching Ubertrend that points to a future that is progressively female-centric. You will emerge from this session invigorated by the
accomplishments of women and empowered to accelerate your personal and professional journey.

Already, women are the leading participants in one of today’s largest global conversations, social media.
