      • Jeff Immelt,

        Chairman and CEO, General Electric
        "Digitization is a transformation, not a task. It's not something else to put on your to-do list. This is all-encompassing change."

      • Beth Comstock,

        Vice Chair, General Electric
        "Get used to living in the in-between. The old is going away, and the new has not yet fully emerged. It's uncomfortable and it's chaotic. But it's happening in pretty much every industry right now."

      • Bill Ruh,

        CEO, GE Digital
        "Four years ago it wasn't so obvious, but today as I talk to customers, it's clear that a digital industrial movement is underway. Now, everyone wants to know how."

      • Nana Wilberforce,

        Innovation and Performance Manager, PNC Bank
        "This [conference] is one of a kind. Like Beth Comstock's analogy earlier, different ants come in together, all doing different things, but then [their work] creates a pattern, and that pattern creates a movement, and that movement creates something … and I think that’s what we are trying to achieve here."

      • Katherine Waite,

        GE Digital Alliance Marketing Lead, PwC
        “We are extraordinarily excited about the potential of Predix and providing our clients with end-to-end Industrial Internet solutions. We see a tremendous need for solutions based on Predix along with digital transformation and business transformation services particularly in our sectors such as oil and gas, power and utilities, industrials, transportation.”

      • Niket Raut,

        Technical Architect, Capgemini
        "The differentiator of Predix as a platform is that Predix focuses on industry, and nobody else does that better than GE."

      • Aaron Darcy,

        Chief Marketing Officer, GE Digital
        “People are really using the industrial internet and Predix to revolutionize the way that they do their work. Its making them more productive, its adding dollars to their bottom line, and it’s just an incredible thing to see ... its almost like an entire movement.”

      • Asad Naeem,

        Instrumentation and Controls Engineer, Engro Fertilizers Lt
        "I think what makes GE’s Predix different from the other platforms is that they are focusing on the developers. They are investing in developers, they are doing these amazing hackathons, and amazing conferences to get people involved from all around the world."

      • JP Morgenthal,

        America’s Digital Applications CTO, CSC
        "Predix is the first of its kind because GE is bringing their own internal needs to this platform and solving their problems, and then deciding how it can benefit customers and the larger ecosystem, which is pretty cool."

      • Hitesh Jain,

        Predix Architect , GE Aviation
        "I’ve been working in the Predix world for almost 2.5 years and it’s an exciting opportunity over here right now in San Francisco working with different projects and teams, contributing to the IoT world."
