Our morning keynote speaker at the Garage2Global portion of the 2016 DLA Piper Global Technology Summit will be Alec Ross, former senior advisor for technology at the US State Department in the Obama Administration. Ross is also the New York Times best-selling author of The Industries of the Future, which examines "the next wave of innovations that are going to disrupt markets."
Ross regularly briefs world political leaders and CEOs on the implications of developments at the intersection of geopolitics and technology. Certainly one of the bigger developments geopolitically this year is the Brexit, which Ross will touch upon in his keynote address.
Brexit's impact on the technology sector was also the subject of a recent DLA Piper client alert. We invite you to read that post as a warmup to the conversation at the summit.
