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.
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.'

With the benefit of only 2 weeks in China, including 2 days at ad:tech Beijing, I’d have to say it would be interesting to discuss the term “great blog” in the Chinese context. There are plenty of English-speaking bloggers who could explicate that – Jeremy Goldkorn at danwei.org, Dan Harris at chinalawblog.com Sam Flemming at http://www.seeisee.com/index.php/sam/ and a new one David Wolf at Silicon Hutong http://siliconhutong.typepad.com/silicon_hutong/
What I got is that the sheer numbers of people blogging is huge. I was also told that bulletin boards are huge. Censorship is a serious issue and companies are very wary, to say the least, about corporate blogging, especially because of the speed and volume of comments that get generated and the perceived risk in that.

Re: topic #1
Automatic translation has a long way to go (despite getting continually better) , but honestly, the only way for more real translation to occur is for masses of English speakers to learn Mandarin !
One of the best environmental news blogs on China, http://www.chinadialogue.net publish everything, articles and all comments in both Chinese and English … but that rests entirely on a large group of dedicated unpaid volunteers that are mostly ethnic Chinese.
Maybe it’ll be the rise of the Chinese blogosphere and the Chinese web that’ll really get North Americans into learning 2nd and 3rd languages. English will certainly be #1 for the foreseeable future, but keeping the most common mother tongue in the world as some sort of “secret code” is far too big an advantage to give to the Chinese. It really ain’t that difficult to learn, it just takes time.
如果你看不懂，你應該快一點學！
Oh yeah, Unicode also really needs to become more mainstreamed … nothing more annoying than seeing garbled up Chinese script.

Thanks for the link Robert. Hope you and the family are all doing well. Not sure why you are so surprised. We worked out asses off and got a lot of help from the blogosphere including you 8).
For the record, Keynoters are Mark Cuban, Matt Mullenweg, Leo Laporte, Larry Benet (who is an amazing guy) and a panel with Jason Shellen (Blogger & Google Reader), Richard Jalichandra (Technorati), Jeremy Wright (b5 media), Roger L. Simon (Pajamas Media), and Brad Hill (Weblogs Inc). You really have to see the list of over a 100 other speakers many of which are also keynote worthy to get an idea of the scope of the conference.

@15. My apologies. But when I read:
“asked government officials and students about Tiananmen Square there in Shanghai.”
Grammatically, that suggests you were asking about Tiananmen Square “there in Shanghai”. I have trouble deciphering poor grammar, but I’m working on it.

I had the pleasure of participating in the panel ably moderated by Des Walsh at ad-tech beijing (Oct. 17, 2007). Des makes some important points in his comment above. I’d add to that: go to China to experience what the widespread adoption of blogging and social media means. Everybody with access to a computer is online and participating, including professionals in their 40s and 50s. This is not just a game for the young and tech-savvy. Yes, there is censorship but it is a gray area and highly nuanced, as well as being unpredictable.
A couple of examples of how pervasive social media is in China: the guide I hired to hike the Great Wall told me she met her husband in an online discussion group. Readers left close to 3,000 comments on a blog post about the “Forbidden Starbucks” (the Starbucks inside the Forbidden City – now closed). That same blog entry got over 500 million page views. See screenshots here: http://www.blogwriteforceos.com/chinatour/2007/10/after-562333-co.html
According to our fellow panelist at ad-tech, Jason Ge (an executive with Sina.com), a sofa company ran a blog marketing stunt offering to give away a sofa after every 1,000 comments left by readers. The company stopped after giving away 18 sofas. (Des and I were listening to Jason through simultaneous translation so this may not be exact).
Bottom line, China is THE happening place if you’re interested in social media and how it’s affecting business and consumer behaviour. My recent two weeks there were mind-blowing. If you have a chance, go!

Glad to hear you see the need in building bridges between what’s going on in China with the rest of the world.
There’s a recent interview I did on my China Business Show called “Why American Tech Companies Fail In China”
A group of us in China (I’m now based back in the U.S.) have been talking about the need to put on an east meets west type of conference as there’s a big divide that could be easily bridged if the right people got together.
Let me know if you’re interested and I’ll be happy to put you in touch with some great people over there.

Des Walsh did indeed do a great job of chairing the panel at AdTech that Debbie mentioned and he spent a important time listening and learning about a culture he had just encountered. Debbie Weil, after only three days in country felt qualified to comment on the state of the blognation here and missed the boat at AdTech. Sina.com, for whom her buddy Jason works, was the only attendee that denied blogger access to its brass. Debbie, in the blogging panel session, openly defended their decision to only be interviewed by Mainstream media as we bloggers are, after all, not trained journalists and she is not an advocate of live blogging at conferences by amateurs….
On translation and east-west interface: Just this week we pooled the talents of four media groups, an SEM team and a digital internship program at Sun Yat-sen University to form CultureFish Media. We translate material from from ten languages and help clients market in Mandarin, Cantonese and 20 some ethnic dialects across China. Four of our first few projects are landing pad and blog translation into
Chinese and Japanese….

You are absolutely right about the wealth of blogging talent here: Jeremy, John, Rebecca, ESNW (http://zonaeuropa.com ),Luyi Chen, Bokane, CBN (http://thechinabusinessnetwork.com ), Dan Harris and several others would make a blogging tour of China a mandatory sebbatical for at least several weeks….
Des Walsh did indeed do a good job at AdTech and humbly sought out as much information as he could about this mysterious market. Debbie Weil, on the other hand, was speaking with great authority about the blogstate here with a staggering three days in-country. There is great irony that she was on the blogging panel at Adtech yet supported Sina.com’s refusal to be interviewed by bloggers. In fact she was quite clear that only trained journalists should be live blogging/reporting from conferences. Her support of any measure of access denial for bloggers is, for many of us, akin to aiding and abetting the censorship enemy in China. And yes, out talk (and black humor) finds us directly or obliquely confronting the challenge of censorship which is indeed “unpredictable”, but hardly “gray” (see Rebecca’s delightful remarks here: http://rconversation.blogs.com/rconversation/2007/11/chinese-blogger.html

There is no point in asking a question like “Who is the Michael Arrington of China”; that shows too much US-centricism and would be like asking “Who is the Deng Xiaoping of the US?” So what if you knew who that is? How does it contribute to the dialogue? How does it contribute to overall understanding?
The fact is that the Internet in China has developed in vastly different ways from the US because of social and technological conditions.
If you are going to get serious about China, make the time investment to study it _in depth_.
There is way too much superficial stuff which passes for knowledge passed off in the form of sound bites, and there is not a need for anymore of it.
If anything, I would say that there is much more intelligent information getting passed around in China than there is in the US, and they are sharper than US commentators.
Just a few are:
Keso
Isaac Mao
Laohu Miao
Laolao
Tangos Chan
So let’s get past the “Who’s the Michael Arrington of China?”, OK? How about “Who’s the Laohu Miao of the US?”
I would say there isn’t any…
Enough superficial cultural comparisons…
