Whether you’re just looking for a good tech conference to attend, or a tech company looking for a way to get their name out there, the VentureBeat conference is the place to go. This year’s conference, held in Los Angeles, was a huge success with lots of high profile announcements. Among those announcements was one that really stood out: Kyle Wiggers has been named the new CEO of GitHub, the popular cloud storage service. This is a huge honor, but is it the right move?

A number of startups are proving that AI can be used to power products and services that can save the planet. For example, a company called Confluent has raised $125M Series D funding led by Sequoia Capital. Confluent is also the company behind the open source streaming data project Apache Kafka. While Confluent isn’t the first to build an AI-powered streaming data platform, it is the first to do so in a way that’s open and available to all. Moreover, the company’s latest product, Apache Cassandra, is a data analysis platform that can handle billions of data points in real-time.
