BIO:
Scoble gives you a front-row seat on the future.
Literally. He had the first ride in the first Tesla. Siri was launched in his house. He's been the first to share all sorts of technologies and companies with you, from Flipboard to Pandora to Instagram.
Today he's focusing on mixed reality, AKA "next-generation augmented reality" which will include a new user interface for EVERYTHING in your life (IoT, Smart Cities, driverless cars, robots, drones, etc).
That's based on his view thanks to his past experience as futurist at Rackspace.
Best place to find Scoble? On his Facebook profile at https://www.facebook.com/RobertScoble
He has been a technology blogger since 2000, was one of five people who built Microsoft's Channel 9 video blog/community, worked at Fast Company Magazine running its TV efforts, and has been part of technology media businesses since 1993.

SPEAKER PITCH:
Apple and Facebook now have revealed their Augmented Reality strategies, which means your business needs one too. Rely on Robert Scoble, the world's top authority on AR, to bring to your conference what businesses should do next.
SPEECH ABSTRACT #1:
TITLE: The Fourth Transformation: What's next in mixed reality (AR and AI) and the future of technology?
Here's an example of this talk at Leade.rs in Paris in April, 2017: https://youtu.be/52_0JshgjXI
Why "the Fourth Transformation?"
Soon we will have phones and glasses that do full on augmented reality. Everything you look at will potentially be augmented. This world is coming in late 2017 with a new iPhone from Apple, amongst other products. Microsoft is betting everything on its HoloLens glasses that do mixed reality and the industry is spending many billions of dollars in R&D and funding new companies like Magic Leap.
This future will be the user interface for IoT, Smart Cities, autonomous cars, robots, drones, and your TV.
This is a big deal and Robert will take you through what mixed reality is and how it will change every business.

++++++++
SPEECH ABSTRACT #2:
"The Next Two Clicks of Moore's Law."
Over the next four years, or two clicks of Moore's Law, a ton about our technology world will change. Scoble will bring you the best from his travels visiting R&D labs, startups, and innovators around the world.
He views the world through his rose-colored-mixed-reality glasses, which will be the new user interface for self driving cars, Smart Cities, IoT, and many other things in our world.
He'll send you off with some lessons for companies both large and small.
++++++++
SPEECH ABSTRACT #3:
"Personalized Meaning: What is Augmented Reality For?"
As we enter a far more technological world where even cars drive themselves, I predict we'll see a blowback toward the analog, more authentic world.
What role does augmented reality play in both worlds?
Get Scoble's insight into where augmented reality is going, see tons of real-world demos, and understand what he means by 'personalized meaning.'

So letmee get this straight, Tim’s Web 2.0 and Emerging Tech Conferences are the end all be all (and FOO when invited, noFoo or Barcamp when not), and Mix 06 was a must-attend event, you were handing out free tix to Mash-Uppers and promoing that like all out (Michael Platt was your God then), and you are always on the TechCrunch party lists, but this is one here, is somehow no good. I think your real definition of “frothy” be “they didn’t put me on the speaker list”. I bet if Dave was a keynoter, you’d be all over this…
Of course it is totally-pure froth, but then so has been everything Web 2.0, hence selective froth belies ulterior motives. It’s so so easy to read in bloggerese. Not only is it frothy, it’s fraudy, arrogant, swarmy, and mash-up-feature-as-a-company brain-dead stupid.
Tysons Corner, eh? That’s Spooksville, all those unmarked Offices, paid for by Langley, must be to angel-dust dazzle Government Service types, but boy what a total fake-up fall-pond swim. But to do Tyson’s you need a National Security angle…

Mix06 had hard-core technical content (I wasn’t a speaker there either). I called the latest TechCrunch party “a media event.” I noted that the one before that made me think that the bubble was back. OK, OK, I didn’t call it frothy, but it was.
O’Reilly’s conferences always had hard-core technical content at them. This one makes fun of “getting deep without getting technical.” Not the same at all.

Hugh, what might be wrong with making $50K on a party is that, for most of us, giving a party isn’t about making money. Nor is it about promoting ourselves or our businesses. Mostly, they’re just social events to spend some time enjoying the company of our friends.
There ought to be a different word for these types of parties, which are offered to garner attention, broker attention, and make a little, well I guess it depends on what you think a “little” is, money on the side.
As “if” you couldn’t figure that out.

So just “hard-core technical content” makes it all ok? That’s just froth geeked up, this conference is froth minus the geek. So to be Web 2.0 and ok, you have to have hard-core technical content about vaportware and it’s ok. No hard-core technical content, not ok. Right? Then this is froth FOR the masses.
And it wasn’t a PARTY, it’s a networking event…you don’t party and pay big money, gettign exculsive invites with dim-bulb shallowheads like that. Ok, maybe you do. 😉
So breaking it down…
Web 2.0 + hard-core technical content = Ok.
Web 2.0 – hard-core technical content – Bad.

Arrgh, WordPress over-aggressive spam dog-catcher…spell and grammar check above.
Funny that your “froth” now has a qualifier definition, as meaning not sufficiently technical enough. Of course, even the geeky is froth. But always interesting in digesting the bloggeristic dicionary.
froth (frôth, frth) n. – [Middle English, from Old Norse frodha.] — 1. Any Web 2.0 conference deemed ungeeky and not endorsed by Crazy Uncle Dave. 2. Any conference on blogs or Web 2.0 that somehow sees fit not to include me.
And I don’t find anything wrong with the general principle of “getting deep without getting technical.” Those are called End User Conferences or Trade Shows. So I am guessing a Gnomdex Web 2.0 would be bad? 😉

Well, I would argue that the party was a social event, Dave. Only, the agenda wasn’t about enjoying “the company of friends”. But I’ve never seperated “work” and “social” much, as any reader of my blog can tell.
From what my spies tell me, pretty much everybody there had their own business agenda for attending. Which was made it interesting.

Christopher: I disagree with you that all of the “new web” is frothy or doesn’t have business behind it.
There are plenty of sites that are actually making real money. The problem is we aren’t talking enough about them. Instead we’re talking about the froth.
I don’t see a single session at this “new internet” conference about business models and how to increase your revenues. How to increase adoption? How to get outside the Techcrunch/TechMeme/Digg bubble.
And it doesn’t even have a session on how to properly make rounded corner graphics. Heheh.
Frothy!
