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.'

Robert,
I like the brief opening video with your pictures and your laugh which takes your spirit as I imagined when I read your posts.
The lawyer is a need in an environment like today; this is a pity though. In the moment when we begin to do modestly well, the number of people who file a law suit is sub-real.
I like the advise of these lawyer to most of the developers to seek advise to a lawyer early and often.

It doesn’t matter if you disclose things before they are patented. We have 2 patents being published later this year, which were applied for late last year. The patent system is first come first serve. As long as you got the application in .1 milliseconds before the other guy, especially if you used the electronic submission system, you should be fine.
Here’s an example, albeit a bit blurred. I always wanted to work at the CSIS, I think this proves I’m qualified.

“Patent trolls.”
AFAIK, Patent trolling under the current system is common place. People who invent what tech they think will most likely come about anyway as a logical progression of technology then stick it to huge companies, such as IBM when they predictably use it. I would never… but some unscrupulous inventors have and will continue to.

The link above is the worst form of patent trolling and AFAIK, only Microsoft dares to stupe down to the level of patenting other people’s inventions. Let’s hope that’s the last time they try that. Only public awareness can stop Microsoft from sinking to new and depraved lows in IT ethics.

@Harlequin,
The C9 lawsuit court date is on the 27th of August. I submitted enough evidence to send the MS legal team packing(hopefully) within the 15 day pre-trial limit. We shall see. I’ll be up early that morning for sure.
Scoble talked about Patent trolling, at least in his post and the most heinous examples of that were provided by non other than Bill Gates’s Micro-soft. Why not bring that up?
Don’t you get tired sucking up to Microsoft?
Just a little? (makes small gesture with thumb and forefinger)

Been there, dealt with the patent trolls, threw away the T-shirt.
This is just another manifestation of the US fascination with contingency fees and other asymmetrical traps in our legal system.
If the loser had to pay both sets of fees (e.g. Tort Reform) and we tracked down the other asymmetries (e.g. costs a lot more to defend against a patent holder than to claim infringement ala Trolls) the US legal system would operate in a way much more closely resembling justice. Instead, there are asymmetries that give one side, the side acting as Trolls in ways a lot broader than just patents, all the advantages. It’s cheaper to pay them off.
Unfortunately, the lawyers like things just the way they are and they play to the fears of the less well off to keep it that way. I am curious where all the stories are from Europe about how poorly the little people are treated by legal systems where the loser pays all the legals. Seems to me that if our lawyers are right there should be massive unhappiness on a daily basis as ordinary folks are ground under the boots of Big Legal.
Cheers!

There, now you know. Not that I haven’t posted this here before. I also sent a bunch of evidence in a few days before I left for Germany last week, and a retort at the MS legal response. I shouldn’t have written that it will send them packing. I should have said that what I sent in will give the court a much clearer picture of what really happened. I apologize, and I got a little carried away there. May justice be served.

The answer to your last question reinforces my opinion that in key positions Microsoft hires people who ACT smart, while IBM hires people who ARE smart.
This guy described the IP system with complete clarity and honesty and drives at the issues it faces without even a hint of how this might adversely affect IBM. While IBM doesn’t always execute well, and has its fair share of mediocre middle managers, they continue to have a corporate philosophy that looks beyond the next contact closing. that shows in both their R&D efforts and in their approach to OSS, as witnessed here.
IBM is a mature company, while I wonder if Microsoft is capable of maturing. This issue of globalisation coupled with IP may be the deciding factor.
