Richard's background is in Olympic sports, and his talk is about transferring the lessons from Olympic medalists to all of us, what are the skills that we can all nurture and benefit from, particularly focused on controlling our breath, and how breath is fundamental to high quality management of stress, how it can help us become more resilient, and give us a place of perspective, rather getting caught in emotions. If you look at the stats of depression and anxiety, you will realise that we are getting lost in our stories a lot, and breath gives us an amazing tool, its free, it’s the lowest hanging fruit out there for wellbeing, for performance, and it’s something that certainly acrobatics athletes and snow boarders do before they do exceptionally dangerous things. Richard Husseiny has worked as a performance coach in high performance sport, with some of the best organisations & athletes in the world from Great Britain, USA & China. Including supporting teams in preparation for 2 Summer Olympic Games London 2012, Rio 2016 & the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.

Everybody is connected to food, old, young, babies, poor & rich people, everyone. Food represents our identity, food is life, food is nourishment, food is our first medicine, but also food is culture, through food we talk to people, we express our love to people, food is family, food is at the center of every celebration. So, food is strictly connected with Humanity.”

Poornima Vijayashanker is currently the founder at Femgineer, previously founding engineer at Mint.com. Since Mint’s acquisition, she has taught software product development to entrepreneurs and engineer around the world through Femgineer’s courses, and also started BizeeBee, a CRM solution for fitness businesses. Poornima has been fascinated by technology since she was 3. Her father, a hardware engineer, made “chips” and “wafers,” which she thought were potato chips and cookies! Eventually her dad took her to his fab (fabrication laboratory) when she was 9, where she sat and watched how chips and wafers were made and tested. Inspired by all that technology could do for humanity, she double majored in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Duke University, then moved to Silicon Valley, where she was lured into startup land. She was the founding engineer at Mint.com. Since its acquisition she has gone on to start two more companies:BizeeBee, a CRM solution for fitness businesses, and Femgineer, an education company for tech professionals and entrepreneurs. She recently taught at Duke University’s Pratt School of Engineering.

Products that appeal to "geeks" often miss the mark with everyday consumers. However companies like Fitbit, Sphero and Nest have all managed to transform an initially technical product into a hugely successful and sought-after consumer item. How can we, as designers and technologists, bring a product out of geekdom obscurity and into mainstream culture?

Innovation comes from creating new enabling technologies, but can only be valuable when available to everyone, and you can achieve that with top quality user experience and teams of top quality people. This is the real mission of NTT Data.

Thanks to DARPA-sponsored contests and new work at Google and many car companies, robot cars are no longer science fiction; they're coming this decade. Their implications are quite remarkable -- and not just for transportation, where they can offer a mere saving of millions of lives, billions of hours and trillions of dollars. Robocars can change how we live and work, change our cities, change manufacturing, housing. Crucially in today's world, they also have the potential to make serious inroads on our energy and emissions problems. The talk will discuss the merits and downsides of robocars, potential paths to get there, roadblocks along the way and what the world of robocars will be like.

A talk about internet enabled cars and the challenging we are facing as cars get their own connection to the the internet, without the need of a smartphone, with particular focus to the use of audio to access information, all information.

"Robocars and user models. The pathetic fallacy, brute force and leaky abstractions."A talk about cars as platform for mobile technologies and the need to redesign the driving experience.

ROBERTO TAGLIABUE Executive Director Software Design - JawboneWe believe that designing innovative digital experiences goes beyond making technology do more, last longer, weigh less or go faster. It is about understanding how devices and services fit into people’s lives, and how and why we use technology in the ways we do. The perfect experience is a carefully planned consumer journey. A meaningful journey across device, app, content and services we offer to consumers. If we are able to fire up those cylinders (product+content+service+events) we would generate a great product and would have inspired millions of people to use it and love it.

The Cyborg Consciousness. How does our self-image / imagination change when technology is integrated in the body. TANYA VLACH Trans-disciplinary artist, Tanya has an extensive background in dance, theater, media, and literary arts. She has produced and curated several multidisciplinary arts events throughout the Bay Area. In 2005 Tanya Vlach was found on the side of the road unconscious from a severe car-accident. Since losing her left eye and her brush with death, Tanya changed the direction of her work to the more personal dealing with perception, identity, and transformation. Besides writing and creating multimedia pieces exploring these themes, it led to the the sci-fi idea of an augmented technological upgrade of her prosthetic eye. An artistic experiment in building a miniature recording wireless device to be implanted in her prosthetic eye, Tanya is currently in development on organizing an engineering team to build a prototype. This eye-camera is not only a way for her to transform her lost eye from a traumatic car accident bionically, but a conceptual and transdisciplinary experiment merging media and performance. In August of 2011, Tanya completed a successful fundraising campaign through social media and crowd funding on Kickstarter to raise the preliminary funds to build her bionic eye-camera http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/growaneweye/grow-a-new-eye
