[David Needle]

NTT Data is the same company or a division thereof, right?
Unrelated to the layoffs, but just got this a few minutes ago.

Hi David –



NTT DATA <https://us.nttdata.com/en/>, a global IT services provider, hosts
an annual global Open Innovation Contest <http://oi.nttdata.com/en/contest/> –
with the next competition in San Francisco (*Jan. 30*). We invite you to
attend San Francisco’s pitch day
<http://oi.nttdata.com/en/contest/9th/venue/c14/> to hear these innovative
proposals from businesses who can change the world.



10 applicants will pitch their proposals (shark tank style) to a panel of
judges in front of a live audience throughout the day to solve one of
these seven
global challenges <http://oi.nttdata.com/en/contest/9th/challenges/>.
Unlike other competitions, *there is no cash prize*. Instead, winners will
engage in an intensive business development project.



Winners from the San Francisco contest will be invited to Tokyo to present
their pitches against companies from around the world – the ultimate
winners from that contest will be chosen to engage in an intensive business
development project to bring their proposal to life.



Venue details are listed below.

   - *Location*: Quadrus Conference Center, 2400 Sand Hill Road, #204,
   Menlo Park, CA 94025
   - *Program*:
      - 1:00 – 1:15 p.m. registration/check in
      - 4:15 p.m. keynote
      - 5:00 p.m. winner announced, reception
      - 6:00 p.m. closing



If you plan to attend, please register at the links below or RSVP to me and
we will make sure you receive a press pass. We also have contest applicants
available for comment if you are interested in speaking with them more
about their experience and challenges throughout the proposal process.



*To register:*
