Technology is accelerating far more quickly than anyone could have imagined. During the next decade, we will create more wealth than we have in the past hundred years. We will also experience more upheaval than ever before.
During this gripping and insightful keynote, Diamandis outlines a road map to our near future, describing how wave after wave of exponentially accelerating technologies will impact both our daily lives and every company. What happens as AI, robotics, and virtual reality crash into 3D printing, blockchain, and global gigabit networks? How will these convergences transform today’s biggest industries? How will this change the way we raise our kids, govern our nations, and care for our planet?

3. Everyone, everywhere is connected at gigabit speeds
4. Everything, everywhere is connected (IoT/IoE)
5. You can know anything, anytime, anywhere
6. Autonomous personalized transport (fast + cheap)

10. Globally Abundant Cheap Renewable Energy

What exponentially advancing technologies will transform or disrupt your company and industry over the next two to 10 years? How will artificial intelligence, robotics, 3D printing, synthetic biology and infinite computing transform your business and industry? How can we use these powerful technologies to leapfrog our competition?
In 2012, Kodak Corporation, a 100-year-old, Fortune 100 company, went bankrupt. In this same year, Instagram (also in the photography business) was acquired by Facebook for $1 billion with only 13 employees. This is a classic “linear” versus “exponential” company. Diamandis shows companies the Exponential Tools that will either transform them or put them out of business.
