We’re pleased to announce that this year’s opening keynote at Alpha DevCon 2016 will be tech author and B2B social media strategist Paul Gillin. His keynote, “Tech Stuff that Will Rock Your World,” is slated for the morning of Wednesday, September 21st.

The world’s collective knowledge is now at our fingertips via our mobile devices, and mobile access is changing the nature of relationships between consumers and producers. In his keynote, “Tech Stuff that Will Rock Your World,” Paul Gillin will discuss some of the latest tech innovations that are about to rock our world—from big data to predictive analytics to robots—and explore critical questions such as, “Will all this innovation lead to a better quality of life or mass unemployment? Will there be such a thing as privacy when our every move is documented and analyzed? Does privacy even matter?”
