5:30pm Session: Technology Megatrends
The world is changing at exponential speed due to the convergence of technology: AI, 3D printing, robotics, quantum computing, blockchain, and ubiquitous high bandwidth connectivity. The next twenty years will be one of the most significant times in history to be alive. But do you understand how these advances will affect your life? Your work? How did we reach this point where a world of abundance is at our fingertips? Yet the inevitable march of technology goes unnoticed?
I hope you will join me as I walk you through the technology megatrends that will change our lives forever. With over twenty years of experience managing sales at EDCi, a Value Added Reseller in NE Wisconsin, and the last six years researching technology trends for my novel, The Alleged Conspiracy, my presentation is not focused on the bits and bytes of our industry. But on the larger scale, focusing on developments that will rock our world.
Speaker: Nicholas (Nick) A. Tseffos
CS Lewis said, “Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God, do you learn.”
The world of “experience” has shaped my life. From a humble blue-collar family in Racine, Wisconsin, I graduated from Iowa State University in 1975. By thirty-three, I became Vice President of Sales for Bemis Company’s Distributor Products Division. I changed professions in 1996 to enter the technology industry. I joined EDCi, a VAR in Appleton, Wisconsin, rising to Executive Vice President and Partner. In 2016, I sold my interest in the company to pursue my lifelong passion for writing.
I am an active member of the International Thriller Writers Association. Through their THRILLER-TIQUE program providing authors with virtual critique groups, I was selected to work with authors Bonnar Spring and Stacy Woodson. I have studied at the Loft in Minneapolis under the guidance of author Tea Obreht, and at the Chippewa Valley Writer’s Guild with Nickolas Butler. My short stories have won awards at The Mill in Appleton, WI, and I was recently published by Indignor House in an anthology.
My motto is that the world is never black and white. It’s gray. The only absolute we can count on is change. Technology will be the driver of massive transformation in our lives, and my twenty years of experience in the field gave me the background to write a techno-thriller. The Alleged Conspiracy is the result.
