Show Notes Chapter Markers

In part 1 of a 3 part series, I'm excited to try something a little different. We will start with a virtual bourbon tasting with a panel of innovation thought leaders and then discuss the Gartner 2020 Emerging TechnologiesHype Cycle. Mike Fulton from Nationwide Insurance and an Adjunct Professor at Ohio State University, Arun Ghosh from KPMG, Todd Federman from North Coast Ventures, and myself from Microsoft will all cover the many facets of the technology innovation industry through this energetic, dynamic, and insightful panel discussion. Remember to check out ”The 2020 Emerging Technologies Hype Cycle with Gartner Analyst Brian Burke”, “Gartner Hype Cycles Explained” and “Demystifying the Gartner 2020 Emerging Technologies Hype Cycle” to go deep on the Gartner Hype Cycles!
