What will we explore together?

Screens transformed how we work, shop and learn. A broader question now deserves attention: what happens when digital information, characters and services can meet us in our physical surroundings?

Alon connects AI, augmented reality and spatial computing with business and human questions. Moving between a future vision, demonstrations and examples from practice, the keynote invites audiences to consider which possibilities matter to their own organization.

Questions we will open up

  • What could a digital service understand about the physical context around its user?
  • How can interactive characters and spatial content change customer and audience experiences?
  • Which habits, roles and value propositions might evolve?
  • How do we distinguish an intriguing demonstration from an opportunity worth testing?

What will the audience take away?

  • A shared language for AI, XR and real-world experiences.
  • A framework for examining opportunities through human and business needs.
  • Questions that keep the conversation moving after the event.

A digital character on stage can turn a script into a conversation with an audience. An AR experience can give information a presence in a place. We explore what each example makes possible and which need it could address.

Connect the topic to your world

The keynote can focus on service, customer experience, learning, retail, events or the future of products. Demonstrations are selected around the audience, venue infrastructure and agreed time.
