Announcing New COO Membership!
We know that COOs face many of the same challenges as our CEO members, and will benefit greatly from the ability to network with and learn from our existing members. It is also true that COOs face unique situations in their roles, and having their own group of trusted peers to bounce ideas off and discuss decisions with can add a great deal of value. We are excited to be able to offer opportunities to this new group of Executives in the eco-system to develop personally and professionally by participating in AceTech's programming and events plus having Conversations That Create Value with a group of like-minded peers.

Quarterly Dinner November 29th: Time 2.0 Counterclockwise - How to Unwind Cognitive Time and Live Forever
 John K. Coyle
, Founder of
The Art of Really Living
, and one of the world's leading experts in innovation and Design Thinking. He is a graduate of Stanford's "
d.school
" where his academic advisor was David Kelley, the founder of IDEO and Steve Jobs' right hand man.
John will be speaking on Time 2.0 Counterclockwise - How to Unwind Cognitive Time and Live Forever. We know about the time value of money, but do we truly understand the investment value of our time? In this unique mind-bending talk, John shares breakthrough ideas on how to re-think your relationship with time. He will demonstrate that our brains process time in a non-linear manner, and hence, the value of an increment of time is unrelated to its duration. Using both story-telling and data, John explores how to slow, stop and reverse the perceived acceleration of time, and live summers longer than when you were a kid.
