Before the written word, connections were tangible and immediate. With the dawn of the Victorian Internet (aka the telegraph), connections evolved to include the ephemeral and invisible. With the modern Internet, ubiquity of connected devices, and emergence of artificial intelligence, these connections don’t require humans anymore. Devices connecting with other devices generating terabytes of data for software to review and take action without human involvement. How will connected devices and artificial intelligence alter our cities, towns, and communities? This Fall season, we’re exploring this question through a variety of programs and events. We ask five experts to each step forward by themselves on to the stage and boldly predict how these technologies will shape our lives in the next 5 years. Then we conclude with some questions from our live audience. Nate Damen (aka ATLtvhead) Heather Alhadeff Craig Greenfield Luigi Ray-Montanez Alison Powers

With so many people, companies, and universities seeking the holy grail of "innovation," is the innovation journey a case of the blind leading the blind through a circuitous labyrinth? Like toddlers playing with power tools, there’s definitely a fair amount of pain and frustration, especially with internal barriers and unclear measurements of success.  To explore this topic, we turned to Dr. Kumar Mehta. He is an expert in innovation science and the author of Amazon bestseller The Innovation Biome, on building a sustained business environment where innovation thrives. Dr. Kumar Mehta is the founder of Bridges Insight, a think tank focused on innovation. We also had the chance to speak with Tom Daly, whose career arc includes stops at Dell, ING, UPS, marketing agencies, and 11 years of wrestling the innovation alligator within the Coca-Cola Company leaving as a hall of fame mobile marketing exec.

According to the National Science Foundation, women make up half of the U.S. college-educated workforce, but only 29% of the science and engineering workforce. While many great first computer scientists were women, we still have not closed the gap between genders. The conversations of sexism and sexual harassment in the workplace, and how to solve these large problems, are becoming more of a hot-topic with recent viral articles about companies like Uber. To explore this topic, we brought in Jen Bonnett, Director and General Manager of ATDC, Wei-Chun Tai, partner at Mosely Ventures, and Annie Harrison Elliott, playwright of Empty Rooms, which will be performed in the Garage. Listen to what these women had to say about the challenges and opportunities they face on a daily basis:

Modern eSports are a juggernaut, light years beyond the Red Bull-fueled LAN parties of the early aughts.

Drones are everywhere - on the ground, in the air, and in the water. They've evolved rapidly from a strictly military- and enthusiast-driven market to mass availability. The space is growing as fast as the drones are shrinking. Troels Adrian - Director of Supply Chain Ecosystem Expansion, Metro Atlanta Chamber. Nick Willard - Professional drone racer and collegiate champion. Justin Lee - Drone Entrepreneur.
