<h4 class="p1">THE FUTURE REDEFINED</h4>



As we continue to grapple with the pandemic and its effects, we’re all taking stock and reexamining the opportunities in front of us. How do we rethink the way we work, play, and communicate? How can we design new systems that optimize not just productivity, but also inclusivity? How do we harness the speed, agility, and innovation unlocked during these tough times and leverage them to propel us further? How do we redefine the future? 



<meta charset="utf-8">At Half Moon Bay we’ll have the chance to meet and hear from the top minds in technology as we focus on issues both macro and micro. We’ll hear about the most important advances in A.I., VR and AR, connected devices, mobile tech, biometrics, the seemingly unending popularity of the cloud, cybersecurity, robotics, genomics, blockchain, and the most impactful innovations on the DEI front.
