About this event

2019 has been a year where we've continued to push the envelope of technical innovation. Quantum Supremacy, AI starting to rival human beings, the continued advancement and belief in Blockchain technology are all things that we in the Bay Area have a unique view into. Whether we like it or not, the technology that's built here, impacts the entire world. It's time for the rest of the world to participate in conversations around technology, it's benefits, and more importantly - its implications. 

Jo Sletbak, the Consul General at the Royal Norwegian Consulate General is joining us to give us his unique perspective in the role diplomacy plays in ensuring the technology we build is creating a better future for everyone, and not just a handful of people.
