I’m giving my first TED talk tomorrow in Rome

Happy Friday and hello from Rome. Tomorrow I am speaking at Tedx Roma giving my very first TED talk, something that has been on my bucket list for a while now. I still can’t believe I’m here – I’m nervous, excited, honored, and thrilled for what’s ahead tomorrow.

The main theme for Tedx Roma is what the world is going to be like 20 years from now in 2037. My talk is titled, “The Future of Commerce – From Ancient Rome to Virtual Reality” a topic that I’m really passionate about since it’s something we’re living and shaping every single day at Bold Metrics.

A few weeks ago we announced our partnership with Morph3D and were one of the first companies in the world to show how commerce changes when you introduce holographic augmented reality through a device like the Microsoft Hololens. In the future, the screen you’re reading this blog post on right now will be gone, and instead you’ll be reading this through an AR or VR headset.

Tomorrow I will take the stage in Rome to share our vision of the future, a world that I think is really only 20 years away, or less, and a world that is dramatically changed as AR and VR become a part of our everyday lives.

If you want to watch my talk you can view the livestream (note it’s at 4:30AM PST) you can see me speak by visiting tedxroma.com and clicking on the link for the livestream. Okay, that’s enough from me, I’m off to bed – Ciao!
