I am delighted to confirm that I will speaking at the pretty amazing White Bull Pathways 2013 conference in Barcelona on Oct 9, 2013 (2pm) on this topic:

Looking backwards from the future: the next 5 years in Technology and Innovation. We are heading into an era of dramatic disruption and some pretty amazing opportunities: exponential technological progress is fueling a multitude of key trends such as The Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, the total mobilization of society and commerce, big data-driven business intelligence and prediction, the reimagination of privacy and security, bionics, robotics and new human-machine interfaces, the complete reinvention of advertising, the global convergence of telecom and media, and rise of cloud-everything (i.e. content, money, education, health, transportation etc). At the same, we are heading into a new definition of ‘capitalism' which is based on interdependence and ecosystem-thinking rather than on control, independence and nicely walled gardens. Gerd will depict the key trends, minefields and opportunities and will dish up a mixture of shock and awesomeness…

Join me if you can!
