What separates event tech from other kinds of tech? 🤔 Having spent years living with that inescapable moment of pressure in the event hall, I believe it's the vital requirement of needing to work on the day - or hour - or minute - or second... ⏱ Vendors typically achieve this via a layer of service... plus some other bits and pieces. I've expanded on this bombshell in my blog post below 😁👇 See what you think... #eventtech #techinnovation #eventplanning #eventprofs #technologytrends

Class Assignment Will Technology Shape Our Future or Will We? TED Talk By Deborah Nas In the TED talk, Deborah makes a point that older generations see technology differently than we do as we have grown up with it. As Douglas Adams has stated, “Everything you grew up with is a normal part of the world”. Older generations feel unsure about technology as they didn’t grow up with it. At that time technology wasn’t a huge part of the world and most people were stuck in their ways. We started with writing, then newspapers, TV, and now phones that provide you with anything you need. Technology has developed so much over time that it can be scary for some to get accustomed to it. Nowadays everyone is so consumed in their phones that it seems time is just passing them by. Whereas years before people would go out and enjoy their time without checking their phone for a text. This is one of the many reasons older generations have been so concerned about technology. Once something becomes normal to you it can be hard to see anything else. A great point was made when Deborah mentioned that had video games been made first we would think the concept of reading wouldn’t be as beneficial. Instead of telling kids to read adults would be okay with video games as kids can interact with other kids their age whereas books are just letters on a page. Had this been invented first people would see everything so differently. As technology keeps advancing this will continue to be a concern.  There will always be uncertainty and fear when something unfamiliar is introduced. We as a society thrive off of familiarity so it does cause us to worry and think of all the potential problems that may come. Technology is not going to slow down. It will continue to advance whether we accept it or not. If we continue to worry about the unknown we will only make it harder for ourselves. The only way to see a positive impact is to adapt to the changes. Technology is never going away, but we can embrace it and help it shape the future that we want. https://lnkd.in/gHqSy2XW

Special collections are often the gem of a library and deserve to be easily accessible to library patrons.

Excited to share a cutting-edge advancements in video and image encoding! At today’s SPIE session on Latent Image and Video Encoding, we’ll be diving deep into how AI-powered diffusion techniques are revolutionizing the way we compress media. Imagine slashing costs and latency by compressing at the latent level rather than relying on traditional Codecs—it’s not just a theory, it’s a proof of concept we’re bringing to life! Our very own John Plasterer will be presenting—don’t miss out on this exciting exploration of the future of compression, where innovation meets efficiency. Can’t wait to see where this takes us next! https://lnkd.in/gfqvZkV2 #Innovation #VideoEncoding #CompressionRevolution #SPIE

These past two weeks I had the distinct pleasure in coordinating one of the largest in-person events in recent history at the Gaithersburg National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) campus - AI@NIST Day - where almost 90 posters and demos surrounding the very current topic of AI and its impact on science, technology, and the greater world at large were featured. The coordinating of this event consisted of creating branded signage (example is shown on the left side of the image), and a floor plan and placement assignment spreadsheet that created spaces for each presenter to be able to share and speak to the work they do with AI. This layout of the event created a sense of community and the importance and impact on cross-disciplinary collaboration since I strived to make sure there was a good mix of what presenters were where based on their respective labs. To walk through the event and hearing the passionate discussions between scientists, researchers, among others surrounding their work truly emphasized the importance of events like this! #CreatingaCommunityOneEventataTime #ConferenceProgramandAVServies #EventPlanning #EventCoordinating #SpecialEventsPlanning #SpecialEventsCoordinating

Onboarding the clients I currently have has been more difficult than I originally anticipated. I have to adapt and improve my work and communication model a bit. So I wrote about that and how this is the second iteration of Capsule.Graphics. https://lnkd.in/gTS-rsb3
