Each year, IPC APEX EXPO features industry’s most dynamic, innovative minds to deliver keynote presentations that are both educational and entertaining. IPC APEX EXPO 2022 will feature New York Times Columnist, Emmy-Winning CBS Sunday Morning Contributor & NOVA Host David Pogue. During his keynote on January 25, Pogue will present, “Disruptive Tech: How it Will Affect Your Business and What’s Coming by 2026.”
Drones and robotics, AI, self-driving cars, employee-less stores, flying taxis, wearable medical sensors, software, and components are accelerating the arrival of new consumer technologies—and with them, changes to society and culture. With 30 years of experience reporting technology trends—and the entertaining style that has earned him six Emmys for his “CBS Sunday Morning” stories— Pogue will take keynote attendees on a wild ride through the cutting-edge science and technology that is powering a next wave of technological innovation. His funny, fast-paced snapshot will bring everyone up to date – with a heads-up on how to succeed in a world we’ve never seen before.
“With broad appeal to general, business, healthcare, and tech audiences alike, David will bring his expansive knowledge, engaging wit, and perhaps a song or two to the APEX EXPO keynote stage,” said Alicia Balonek, IPC senior director of trade shows and events. “The audiences will leave as informed as they are entertained, with an enlightened perspective of the state of technology today — and how it’s shaping everyone’s tomorrow.”
Pogue’s keynote is free to all IPC APEX EXPO participants. In addition to Pogue’s keynote, John Mitchell, IPC president and CEO will deliver a keynote on Wednesday, January 26. Meetings and courses will run January 22-27; the technical conference and exhibition will run January 25-27, 2022.
