I’ve seen a few people concerned that they’d have to sign an NDA when visiting iPhoneDevCamp this weekend. The organizers have now said that no NDA will be required this weekend. See you there!

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. Learn more about Robert's speaking style and contact his agent at http://odemanagement.com/robert-scoble/Robert-Scoble.html ++++++++ 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.'

“I’ve seen a few people concerned”
An MS employee complaining about NDAs is pure irony.
I personally usually don’t have any problem with them.

@Chris/3,
I wasn’t so much complaining about the NDA itself, I just didn’t feel BarCamp should be constrained by one. But I’m glad that’s a non-issue.
There should be a time and place to use an NDA – I just felt a BarCamp didn’t deserve an NDA, and I’m glad its been pulled. I’m sure Adobe has its reasons to have visitors sign an NDA before entering the building.

@5,
I used to have a job at Citibank in Rochester, NY where I had to sign an NDA and check in and get a security badge before going anywhere in the building. It was a centre where student loans were processed. This was years ago.
The reason they did this is to protect people’s sensitive information, should anyone want to bring the info outside of it’s context to harm someone.
I think that’s a valid reason for an NDA amongst others.
I do think you may be right though about Adobe. They do not generally hold people’s vital info, and wouldn’t lose much if somebody logged on to an open terminal and hijacked anything.
Plus I bet they have cameras.

Here’s a good example of a worst case scenario, where M$ had sent spies to a borland conference to steal their loot. In this case an NDA would have been favourable. You never know where people are going to wander off to. If somebody did that in our offices I would spaz on them, and pursue them for the damages.

7: disclaimer: I am not a native English speaker.
I read the Register article twice to be sure. But from what I read, it is mo a PR mistake than a true spying problem. MS developers were there, yes, but there was noone taking notes or anything, just MS & Borland employees (and the journalist) talking together.
Moreover, from what I understand it was a public conference, so anyone coould have access to the lab, since it was open in this purpose.
So the whole story is a myth, isn’t ir?
