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?

I still get the impression that the people making purchasing decisions about enterprise software aren’t the ones using it day-to-day, which is probably a significant part of the usability problem.

I explored the notion of why people who are exposed daily to high interface and interaction values inherent in TV, movies, advertising, magazines and gadgets in the consumer sphere are somehow supposed to be rendered incapable of expecting and appreciating the same within the walls of the enterprise from 9 to 5, with a dozen enterprise examples that aren’t sexy:

Score chart (not that it matters): You are wrong, on all points, it’s not about CPM and blogging, nor is it only about marketing “sexy”.
Carr: Is right that Enterprise should be as friendly as consumer, that should not be a “fantasyland”. Is right, about the entire IT and Software industry as a whole, commodity will out.
Michael: Is right, in the sense that Enterprises have differing goals to meet, but all those requirements, are no excuse for byzantine-like software that comes with killer price tags and support contracts, just to make it work. “Seriousness” and “product cycle time-frames” become cop-outs. Is wrong, in playing Defense Lawyer for all the usual rehashed “legacy support requirements”. Welcome the Armies of Consultants at your service.
Gates: Is wrong, his company has never made consumer sexy work, and Dynamics won’t sex-it-up for the Enterprise either. Is right, in the larger point of making Enterprise software “sexier”, but his comments are (as usual) self-serving read-between-the-lines blabber. And he blames the wrong crowd. It’s not the job of the press or the marketing goons to simply sex it up, it’s the job of the software developers, the sex needs to be baked in.
But these Web 2.0 vs. Enterprise comparisons are so much rot. Web 2.0 is all pretty UI’s with everything else, security and scalability et. al., sacrificed. Enterprise can be functional expensive dead-weight that goes unused as it’s a pain to deal with, millions spent, yet ROI DOA.
Function AND Form, no need for zero sum games.

Not all of them — I know that some of the Web 2.0 applications that include security and scalability and reliability are ones that the general public never sees.

Hmm
you mean the big packges like SAP and the Oracle one (what eaver they are calling it this year) that you have to spend vast amounts with consultants with to get them to sort of work.
I’ve worked in environments BT where you had to use Oracle for everything even when it wasnt the best solution Thats one of the main reasons why bt.com sucks so bad.

Speaking of SAP, here’s a good illustration of the problem. SAP hired frog design to help with their R/3 software. I’ve worked with frog as a client at two very different companies: Blockbuster Online and EXE Technologies (licensing the work frog did for i2). I like frog and think they do good stuff. But the screenshots in those links would not qualify as sexy in my opinion. But then, look at what they have to work with. In my experience, that’s what enterprise software is – giant grid controls and gray forms with hundreds of fields on them because the enterprise software company has to cover every scenario that their customers might hit. A lot of open source software has the same problem.
I would guess that if a software designer is focused on features and options, they’re not going to write sexy software because sexy usually goes with clean and uncluttered and it’s harder to have clean software with lots of options. Enterprise software has to have lots of features or every install becomes a full customization project. Open source software gets complex because everyone can add in their own pet features. On the other hand, consumer software can get by with less features because it makes money on volume. The long tail again…
That said, if anyone has examples of software they would consider sexy that is complex and has many features, I’m sure we’d all be interested in seeing it.
