Session: Future Tech
You wake up in the morning and your self-driving car awaits. It actually belongs to a good friend who places her vehicle in the local pool when she doesn’t need it.
Your replacement truck is being 3D-printed today and you are excited to get the latest model with augmented reality windows. Your friend’s vehicle is taking you to the nearby hyperloop station so you can get day-surgery in an adjacent city for a quick liver transplant that was printed this morning for you.
Way too much partying last weekend in the zero-g flight to Bora Bora… thankfully the surgeon in Singapore had his drone drop off some meds to take the edge off your nerves. You ask your home for a brief report, while your toast is printed and coffee poured, to get the latest weather, sports scores, and a reminder to call your mom.
You hop in the vehicle, your home security activates as it senses you have left, and you open a holo-call telling your mom everything is okay…Think this far-fetched and won’t happen in your lifetime? Think again!
Apple, Google, Uber, Amazon, Tesla, and many other tech firms have already made huge advancements bringing this to near reality. How is this all possible and where are we headed?
We live in exponential times where now more than ever g33ks, n3rds, h4x0rs, and techs are in high demand. Technology is key to getting business done! Open your mind to the future and attend this presentation.
Key Insights:
• Where we have been
• Where we are now
• Where we are headed
• What should you do and how can you benefit
