“What Should We Keep Doing After the Pandemic is Over?”

National Online Forum meeting on September 16

We’ve learned a great deal during the upheaval inflicted by Covid 19. Companies have applied creative stopgap solutions to help adjust in the short term. Some of those things, borne of necessity, will fall by the wayside as soon as we’ve got therapies and treatments. Others have been valuable lessons in new ways of doing business. It’s hard to tell the difference in our current circumstances.

Please join us on Wednesday, September 16, 8:00–9:00am pacific time, when Rik Reppe, CEO, Experience Alchemists, will review some things from inside and outside the industry that we should not only embrace but even expand on going forward. We’ll cover innovations in technology and experience design that allow companies to realistically evaluate the use of AI, VR, Machine Learning, Voice interfaces, Smart building technologies and others to serve them in the post-pandemic era.

The meeting is free for A&D Forum members and $25 for non-members. For more information and to register to attend the meeting go to https://adfnofsep1620.eventbrite.com.

“The State of NewSpace – Revolution and Evolution”

Please join us online Wednesday, June 17, 8:00–9:00am PST when Rick Tumlinson (Founder and Chairman, SpaceFund) and Meagan Crawford (Managing Partner, SpaceFund) will present their take on the state of space, both from an investor’s perspective and a broader economic and strategic viewpoint, and share their view of what is to come on the frontier of this new industrial revolution.
