PopTech: Culture Clash is only two months away! We’re thrilled to announce new speakers added to the lineup at our 20th anniversary gathering.
Joining the diverse mix of perspectives you’ll hear from in October include: David Ferrucci, award-winning AI researcher who built and led the IBM Watson team from its inception to its landmark success winning against the best Jeopardy! players of all time; Amy and Ryan Green, husband and wife duo who developed the videogame That Dragon, Cancer to re-tell their son Joel’s four-year fight against cancer through deeply moving, poetic and imaginative gameplay; Asperger’s Are Us, a hilarious comedy troupe consisting of openly autistic people whose precisely worded, dark, observational comedy is balanced with absurd humor; Wayne Kramerof Detroit rock group MC5 and co-founder of Jail Guitar Doors USA, which harnesses the experience of playing music to rehabilitate inmates; behavioral scientist Francesca Gino, whose latest research shows how conformity is costly to our wellbeing and to the organizations we are part of, as it lowers both productivity and innovation; and Revolution Messaging CEO Scott Goodstein, who brought his punk sensibility and online movement making prowess to Obama for America in 2008 and most recently was responsible for the extraordinary online fundraising during Bernie Sanders’ campaign.
This year we’re diving headfirst into the controversial issues infiltrating the news and our daily conversations. You will leave PopTech with a fresh perspective on the current global challenges and be inspired to consider new approaches for change on the ground. We look forward to seeing you in October!
