I’m not speaking at PostieCon

Uncategorized 0 Minutes

So, PostieCon (a conference sponsored by PayPerPost) was among the most controversial things I’ve ever done. People really hated that I was speaking there. I got constant crap from my friends and foes alike because of my decision to speak there.

But, it turned out they didn’t have enough attendees so they postponed it to November.  They asked me to keynote their conference in November. But I declined due to the arrival of our impending arrival of our new son. I’m turning down nearly everything after Gnomedex in August.

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.

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.'

  1. Robert,

    I was really looking forward to seeing each other at PostieCon, but this is the right call. Your prior acceptance to speak solidified you as a leader instead of a follower, in my book.

    We’ll miss you in Vegas after BlogWorld/PostieCon/BloggersChoiceAwards, but hope to connect at a future gig. It sounds like you’ll have plenty of fun on your hands in the Fall!

  7. Our company can send a Montreal blogger out there to replace you for only 12k, airfare included. If you happen to speak with them again, please let them know. It would be in the spirit of payperpost and they’ll never know the difference.

  20. Just because some people do not agree with the idea behind PayPerPost – myself, to a certain extent included – doesn’t mean they don’t have a place within the Blogosphere. Going to talk at their con would not necessarily have been a bad thing, assuming that each speaker is truly allowed to voice their own opinion, whether it be for or against such activities.

  28. Robert,

    My comments may be a bother, but I am scowering the internet looking for somebody to provide me the phone number to people at Postiecon, or Paperpost, or anybody involved with the Bloggers Choice Awards.

    My blog, the Tygrrrr Express, was listed in the top 3 in voting in the political category at the BCA. Tonight, out of nowhere, several days after the contest ended, it dropped me to fourth, and took away between 1/3 and 1/2 of my votes. This is absolutely a glitch, and I know the voters of me, my family, and my coworkers were deleted.

    I hate to come across as a crybaby, but how do I contact these people to fix the matter?

    I emailed them tonight, but I want to talk to a live person.

    This is not Bush vs Gore. It is trying to count several hundred votes at most, and it shocks me Postiecon cannot handle this task.
