Robert Scoble

Robert Scoble is an American blogger, technical evangelist, and author. Scoble is best known for his blog, Scobleizer, which came to prominence during his tenure as a technology evangelist at Microsoft.

Scoble is passionate about Virtual and Augmented Reality and how they will change and disrupt business. Siri was launched in his house. He did the first live video from inside the first Tesla (Elon Musk gave him a ride before he gave his best friend a ride). He has the first video of a Google self-driving car up on YouTube. He was first to show the world many companies and technologies, like those, and Flipboard, Pandora, Instagram, and thousands of others.

He’s interviewed thousands of tech company founders, and his three books, written with Forbes author Shel Israel, have predicted three decade-long trends (“Naked Conversations” predicted how businesses would use Social Media before Facebook was released, “Age of Context” predicted how wearable and mobile technology would bring new kinds of software, and his newest book, “The Fourth Transformation,” predicts how augmented and virtual reality will change every business).

As a globally in demand keynote speaker Scoble delivers a rocket ride through the future of technology, and shows you how your business is about to be disrupted by mixed reality, which will bring a new user interface onto smart cities, IoT devices, self-driving cars, robots, and drones. He gives businesses an insight into how other businesses, like Sephora, Disney, and Ford, are already using augmented reality and how your business will need to change to get ready for consumers and workers who will be wearing augmented reality (or what we call mixed reality) glasses while interacting with their business.
