GeneXus Set to Exhibit Its Award-Winning, AI Automation Software at TechCrunch Disrupt SF 2017 (Sept. 18-20)

    NEW YORK, NY, September 05, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ -- GeneXus, a global leader in enterprise automation software, headquartered in Uruguay, will showcase its GeneXus 15 platform at TechCrunch Disrupt 2017 in San Francisco, September 18-20, through its West Coast Distributor, GXC.

TechCrunch Disrupt is the world's leading authority in debuting revolutionary startups, introducing game-changing technologies and discussing what's top of mind for the tech industry's key innovators. The annual event (now in it's 11th year) draws the most influential and talented entrepreneurs, investors, hackers, and tech fans for three days of on-stage interviews, a startup competition, a 24-hour hackathon, exhibits, and after parties. Many of the startups presented at TechCrunch events in the past have gone on to become some of the most profitable, game-changing tech companies in the world.

TechCrunch is a perfect fit for the disruptive nature of GeneXus's innovative AI, automation software development platform, GeneXus 15 - a powerful tool that gives enterprise companies the ability to develop cross-platform, low-code, mobile applications, inexpensively, and fast. Like the startups looking to disrupt the world at TechCrunch, GeneXus has been shaking up the enterprise world for the past 30 years, and they're still doing so today, now more than ever.

Two months ago, Gartner named GeneXus new Challenger in its 2017 Magic Quadrant for App Development Platforms Report. Now, with the company's expansion to the US market after launching in New York City this Summer, the GeneXus team is looking forward to engaging with fellow innovators and thought-leaders at events across country this Fall, and they're especially exciting to be participating in TechCrunch Disrupt.

Antonio Julio (Head of Biz Dev for GeneXus USA) notes:

"We are excited to be participating in this year's TechCrunch Disrupt! Our co-founder and CEO, Nicolas Jodal, is an engineer and an entrepreneur who launched his own scrappy startup 30 years ago and, with his partners, grew it to become a global force that helps companies to innovate. We have over 130,000 developers in our global community who we train and advise. So, we very much embrace the spirit of entrepreneurship, the challenges faced by new ventures and the competitive edge they need. They are the ones who are going to truly shake up the world and TechCrunch Disrupt is the leader in showcasing new innovators."

TechCrunch serves as a kickoff to a very active event season this fall for GeneXus. It is also a mere two weeks before their annual conference in Montevideo, Uruguay, GX27 Shape Your Future (October 2-4).
