David is a professional magician and a technologist who uses his unique background in performance arts to improve the psychology of human-technology interaction, helping individuals process complex information and accept new technologies. Recognized as an IBM Master Inventor, he has extensive experience in speech recognition and natural language processing. He created the Tactical Communication method, which he uses to coach executives and teams on engaging audiences and delivering impactful stories.
During this interactive gathering, we will dive into several intriguing topics, including:
- Is creativity disappearing?
- Will AI be the liberator of creativity or the death bringer of it?
- How has funding for creativity changed?
- Are you testing creative less now? Are the most creative ideas being ‘tossed’ because they are perceived riskier?
- Where’s the best place/way to deliver creativity? Events like Super Bowl, CX?
- Is the way in which creativity deployed changing?
