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.'

I can see why people want to customize their iPhones – when I’m with friends who have iPhones it’s hard to tell whose is whose without turning it on.
But to date I haven’t found or come up with an iPhone skin that wouldn’t just look super-tacky.
That is, except for that iPhone paint service. That looks pretty slick.

“dramatically changed our culture” – It’s only been in the publics’ hand since the end of June. I think I’d wait before making a grand statement like that. If the iPhone weren’t an Apple product, would you be as quick to exclaim it’s “culture changing effect”?

This blog comment “lashback” is like when the mean punks used to beat up the little nerdy kid (read: Scoble as a youngster) at the playground except now Scoble is reasonably well known, probably makes good money, and has an iPhone (or, well, people in his family do).
Scoble – keep it up or do whatever. It’s your blog. People are just hatin’. You’re still relevant.

Wow, Who is hating who? It’s not lashback, it’s a comment. I’m trying to have a conversation about something Robert posted. Sure, he can totally continue doing what he is doing. He and I can totally choose to disagree with one another. I think it remains to be seem what if any cultural impact the iPhone has. He may disagree. It’s a very worthy conversation in my mind and not meant to come off as mean. Anyway, Robert is a big boy he can handle it.
And I’d still like to hear Robert’s thoughts on my question:

Okay, that’s it, Robert. It has been getting worse and worse of late, but this one made it official: you are truly and completely out of touch.
No amount of wishful thinking can change the fact that:
– Nobody needs Facebook, Twitter, Flickr or anything of the kind. None of them fill an actual need. The incessant drive to become a platform should tell you something — they are all solutions in search of a problem. Every single person I know who has tried one or more of these sites and their ilk already has passed the “neat, but so what”-horizon(TM).
– Since they do not fill a need, there has to be novelty and/or reward. What is the reward? Compared to IM clients and that old BlogSpot account?
– Remember that old BlogSpot account? The one millions of people have and have abandoned since they realized that they simply have very little of interest to say, and — Robert, this is critical — no farking time to say it?
Most people spend around 9-10 hours a day on their job, where they cannot really spend too much time in Second Life. Most people do NOT get paid to read blogs or look at a complete stranger’s FaceBook page. Throw in dinner, taking out the trash and (hopefully) taking a shower, and you are left with perhaps 2-3 hours of freely spendable time a day tops. Your precious Twitters of the world are competing with movies, loved ones and getting that thirld WoW character to level 70 — and when the novelty wears off, all social networking will lose.
– By the way, as the exception that proves the rule, MySpace does fill an actual need: it gives teens another way to waste their time and foist really, really bad poetry upon the world, and as a very bad public e-mail and chatting system. Old wine, new jugs.

And, to stay somewhat on-topic (I of course should have posted the above on a different thread):

Whoa. That’s just… wow. It’s a phone, okay? The sun still rises in the east. Around release time, there was a lot of buzz (including in my professional and social circles), but guess what? The one sucker — I mean trend-setter — I know who got one enjoyed about a day and a half of interest all around, but now has a $600 crappy MP3 player and crappy phone with a 2 year contract.
By the way… “I report on culture and stuff”… truly smacks of the Married With Children episode where Kelly gets her own TV show: “Important Issues And Stuff”. Like, totally.
