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?

Didn’t she ever think to, you know, do something like go online to obtain it? Took me all of 5 minutes to obtain mine back in September.
The key word here is “obtain” Robert. That $100 coupon has no expiration date. But sure, Apple was VERY upfront about an expiration date for getting it.
Oh, and they made it very very easy to imply go to their online store and reserve it for use anytime/anyplace.
I’d have thought ‘net savvy people like you two would have found 5 minutes to do that.

I used mine the day after Thanksgiving but I went to
http://www.apple.com/iphone/storecredit/
after the announcement in early September and got my code. I’d hope that most would have done that by now. I would say to some degree Apple knew many wouldn’t take the time to get their refund just like companies sell gift cards with the idea that many won’t get used.

I believe it was listed on the main Apple page for months….I don’t own an iPhone and I knew it was ending last week.

Sorry you missed your chance. BTW, a couple of months back at my local Apple Store I made a purchase and asked what I needed to do to get the iPhone rebate.
The guy at the counter asked, “what’s your phone number?” Then he punched a few keys and clicked, I got a text message on my iPhone, read it to him and got a hundred bucks off my purchase. That’s about as painless a rebate as I’ve ever had anywhere.

Gift Cards are similar (have expiration dates) and huge money makers for the merchants. I just saw a kiosk in the grocery store with cards for at least 200 (probably more) different merchants. About the only thing missing were cards for dental or medical services and I wouldn’t be surprised if that isn’t next.

To be fair, Apple was really clear since the beginning that you had until November 30th to go get your rebate.
It says: “Requests for the $100 credit must be submitted by November 30, 2007.”
It’s still in Google’s cache if you care enough.

That sucks, but pretty typical as a few other (non-snarky) commenters here have mentioned. The reality is that if Apple was really worried about doing the right thing, they would have sent a certificate to every registered consumer.

Come ooon, Robert- why didn’t she go for it when it was announced? How long does Apple have to accept requests before you deem it appropriate..?

Frank: we own three iPhones. Two of which got the rebate. It just didn’t cross my mind. I’m glad to hear you all are so perfect and remember every date and do everything when you’re supposed to.
Apple could have emailed us a reminder. They know our email address (my receipts come to the same email address) and they knew when we purchased our iPhones.

This was widely reported when they announced it. Sorry, but that’s a baddie on your and Maryam’s part. Yeah, they could have emailed you, but they were pretty clear about it. It’s not like there not in the business to make money and they follow their own rules, not yours.

Remember folks, Apple is the company that made a video player that requires one to pay $10 just to be able to play videos full screen (they finally ended that disgusting policy just recently).
So I’m not surprised that Apple would hide the expiration date of the rebates in fine print.

Well I bought my 4GB Iphone on “Opening Night”—I was aware of the rebate, but “assumed” that I needed to go to the store I purchased the phone.
When I went in Dec — of course I was told “too bad, so sad…”
Well Apple has ALL my info…I get emails once a week — a courtesy email or two about the rebate would have helped those of us who are not glued to the apple website. I am very jaded about the company now.
