The Greater Boston Chapter of ACM is proud to be a part of the Festival. We are producing a presentation which will explore some of the latest headline­-grabbing technology trends. Our speaker, Greg Page, will describe and de­mystify 9 areas of technology that are changing everyone's life: 3D printing, Internet of Things, Wearable Tech, IPv6, Bitcoin, NFC, Cloud Computing, Ephemeral Communication Apps, and Unmanned Civilian Vehicles. He explains the meaning behind the related buzzwords, and the impact of each of these emerging tech fields for individuals, small businesses, and society in general.

We plan to provide some light refreshments before and after the talk, so please RSVP so we can plan appropriate quantities.
