It's Doug Davis, Senior Vice President & GM Automated Driving Group at Intel! #keynote #emergentech #intelsoftware #asu #hackathon and he was giving thte keynote talk before this event!

Turns out ASU has more innovators and does more innovation than anywhere else in the country. I didn’t know this. Even during a robot event, they beat out MIT. :)

Proudly wearing my Emergentech shirt for the event!

It was cool to learn facts like China will have more top cities than anywhere else in the world, and it’s important for us in the western world to have a say in how those shape, technologically

Food. wow. we waste a LOT of food. between 1/4th and 1/3rd of all food made, is just WASTED. we have enough food to feed EVERYONE on earth, and yet we will waste and we still don’t feed them. :(

Me and Mark! Cool guy!!

We played with some robots while Dog talked Intel stuff.

Me and my old classmate from back in the day (who also did one of my first-ever digital photoshoots) Taylor Searle now does Business Intelligence for The Wolff Company. #impressed

Me with Brian, Taylor and Edwin from The Wolff Company. We were discussing innovation in general and innovative ways we can create new opportunities for the real estate market which according to their talk is still 30 years behind the times in technology. Deals in that world are still very much done on napkins and golfing. Very mafia. (just kidding)
