Join leaders from prominent technology companies, including
Amazon, Qualcomm and Illumina at the annual RadyX Conference – a conference
completely run by Rady School students.
Now in its fifth year, the RadyX Conference is committed to
bringing innovative and disruptive companies to campus to share the ways they
are shaking up their industries and changing the business landscape.
A keynote address will be delivered by Durga Malladi, Senior Vice
President and General Manager, of 4G/5G at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. His talk
will center on the development and implementation of 5G – the fastest high-data
transfer rate that will enhance broadband services and mobile networks.
In addition to Malladi’s address, speakers will focus on the
development of genomics, the direction of gaming services, self-driving robot
artificial intelligence and more.
RadyX is hosted by the Rady Tech Club. The conference brings
together a diverse community: faculty and students, the business and
engineering campuses, entrepreneurs, investors and corporate professionals. The
theme of the 2019 conference is “Trends in Tech,” which will explore
a number of topics ranging from subtle to prominent trends in technology.
“This event celebrates the
collaborative and innovative nature of the Rady School of Management, as well
as the strong ties we have to the local technology, biotechnology and
innovative businesses here in San Diego,” said Joey Talia, president of the
Rady Tech Club. “We are looking forward to introducing Rady students, the UC
San Diego and greater San Diego community to the exciting innovations happening
right here in our city.”
