Alex Bratton, President and CEO of software development company Lextech Global Services, will answer all of your burning questions about the iPad and share examples of unique mobile apps that are changing the face of entire industries. By applying decades of his technical expertise and business know-how to this exciting new product, Alex will share his thoughts on:
· iPad vs. iPhone: The technical differences
· How the iPad will generate new opportunities (and revenues) for businesses and developers
· What industries you can expect to embrace the iPad
· How the iPad affects the existing mobile app landscape

Who: Alex Bratton, President and CEO of software development company Lextech Global Services
What: "How the iPad Will Change Everything"
When: Monday, April 19, 2010 from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. (presentation will begin at 6:30 p.m. followed by refreshments and networking)
Where: ThoughtWorks
200 E. Randolph St., 25th Floor, Aon Center, Chicago, IL 60601

Directions: Please see www.thoughtworks.com for details. The State/Lake Street and Randolph/Wabash El stops (all lines) are about 2 blocks away. The building is a block off Michigan Ave. and is also well served by buses.
Parking: There is parking in the Aon Center and neighboring buildings. There is less expensive parking on Lake Street just west of Michigan Ave, plus several other parking structures in the vicinity.
Alex Bratton is a rare find in the technology industry. He is both a hard core technologies and a practiced communicator. At only 29, Alex started Lextech Global Services (his 8th company) in the basement of his family home, bootstrapping the company into what it is today. Eight years later, the critical systems engineering firm has seen exponential growth, providing services that combine software, systems, networks and IT operations to deliver rock solid, scalable solutions for a variety of clientele.
Alex has honed his extensive knowledge of the iPhone and iPad platforms by working on many innovative mobile projects, both in-house and for clients. An app distributed through Lextech Labs is called iRa C3 Mobile Video Surveillance and has the distinction of being one of the most expensive – and highly regarded – business-oriented apps in the iPhone App Store.
Alex received his BS degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Illinois in 1993. While there, he worked at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications developing network and collaboration applications on the same team that would two years later create the Mosaic web browser.
