Exclusive Member-Only Event!

Artificial Intelligence dominates the headlines—and it’s clear we’re in the middle of a major hype cycle. But beneath the buzz, genuine innovations are delivering tangible value. So what’s real, what’s exaggerated, and what’s next? 

Join Richard Campbell for an insightful look at the current AI surge, why it matters, and where the real success stories are happening today. Explore the opportunities, the challenges, and the eventual end of the hype cycle—so you can separate the promise from the noise and prepare for the future of AI in business and development.


SPEAKER

Richard Campbell has been playing with computers since the 1970s. He has done almost every job you can think of in computing, including manufacturing, sales, software development, helping to scale websites during the DotComBoom, and teaching software development all over the world. Along the way, he has been a part of several different technology companies: He was one of the founders of Strangeloop Networks, acquired by Radware in 2013, and a board member of Telerik, which Progress Software acquired in 2014. He makes the podcasts .NET Rocks, RunAs Radio, and a special series called the Geek Outs, where he explores science subjects, including space and the energy revolution. He has been a keynote speaker and guest lecturer at conferences worldwide, including a lecture on building bases on the Moon for NASA Ames in California.  Today Richard serves as the chairperson of Cloud Army, a consumer neuroscience company, as well as chair of the Humanitarian Toolbox, a charity focused on building open-source software for disaster relief and preparedness.
