It has been a thrilling experience so far. I am exhausted, but have been inspired in so many ways today. Here is my own list of 10 most important takeaways for me:

  1. AI and Big Data are everywhere. AI has just started. AI is not a product. AI is assumed an it’s embedded everywhere.
  2. Technology has reached a stable place. Design and UX must catch up to complete the user and customer experience.
  3. Technology and social media have reached a point where brands no longer matter. Authenticity will win in the sea of products, brands and customers.
  4. Time is what we are going for. Whatever you do, it must be solution to save it and maximize it for the users.
  5. The App model is broken. It’s no longer about what the one app does( one use case ), but it’s about providing experience.
  6. Monetizing has changed. From physical to identity, to information(Bitcoin).
  7. Content is king, context is queen. Content is changing with technology, and so is context. It will not stay the same. Take the opportunity on hand
  8. It’s no longer about users sharing. It’s about empowering users to become influencers and brand ambassadors.
  9. Voice is the new content. Hello Podcasts.
  10. Move fast. That depends on your culture, your continuity and your lack of politics.

Off to day 2.
