SUMMARY:Crossing the Chasm with NFTs
DESCRIPTION:Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are everywhere these days\, but how many people actually own one or really understand what they are? According to Geoffrey Moore’s classic book\, Crossing the Chasm\, it is clear that we are still very much in the ‘early adopter’ phase with NFTs. What comes next? Can NFTs cross the chasm? What will they look like if they do? What are the use cases that will drive mass adoption? Join us for an in-person meetup about the technology adoption curve of NFTs\, led by Chris Wilson\, an NFT expert and the founder of R3VOLUTION DIGITAL\, a forthcoming platform for leveraging NFTs to help artists in the music industry make more money. \nThis will be an interactive meetup. Chris will give a short presentation to ‘set the table’ for the discussion that follows. Attendees are encouraged to participate – relating their own experiences with NFTs and contributing their expertise and experience to envisioning the future of these new digital assets. There will be ample time for questions and answers from everyone in attendance\, followed by networking (and of course\, refreshments\, thanks to our generous Austin Forum sponsors listed below). \nAll participants must register for this event via Eventbrite.

SUMMARY:ATC Unplugged: "Transparency Sells Better Than Perfection"
DESCRIPTION:A consumer research study changed my life. As it turns out\, transparency sells better than perfection. And\, due to the proliferation of reviews and feedback on everything we do\, buy and experience\, we now have to be transparent anyway. In this talk\, we explore the science of how we\, as humans\, engage\, prioritize\, decide\, and ultimately buy. We then dig into how to immediately apply those learnings to our messaging\, positioning\, and overall buying journey.

SUMMARY:Think Like a CEO
DESCRIPTION:Become CEO for a day and improve your business acumen in a fun\, fast-paced business simulation game! To succeed\, you must build a hypothetical company focused on creating long-term value. \nThis highly interactive program will illustrate how your decisions drive value in a business and how to think like an executive no matter where you are in your career. \nSign-up now \n“The ‘Think Like A CEO’ event was an eye-opening experience. Everyone thinks they can run a company\, but can they really? This simulation tells you in real-time if you have what it takes to be a CEO of a company. The results surprised everyone in the group.” – Josh\, previous attendee \n“Think Like A CEO rewards business acumen—no matter what your education or prior experience is. A lot of people in my industry—nonprofits—don’t give themselves credit for making business decisions every day. This event removes the ‘mystique’ from the CEO title\, highlights your level of business acumen\, and positions you to think like an owner. I wish all my nonprofit colleagues could experience Think Like A CEO” – Kyle\, previous attendee \nYou’ll be paired with fellow attendees and put in the driver’s seat of a hypothetical business where you will:\n– Balance variables and feel the pressure of making economic trade-offs.\n– Put your business skills to the test and learn from your successes and failures.\n– Learn to confidently understand financial data and make decisions that drive business value.\n– Make quarterly decisions to manage your operational\, sales & marketing\, and financial functions while developing and executing an innovation strategy

SUMMARY:ATX Tech Talent Forum: Swipe Right on Tech Apprenticeships
DESCRIPTION:Learn from Austin tech employers who have integrated tech apprenticeship model into their hiring strategy and have seen the rewards \nABOUT THIS EVENT\nThe local environment for top tech talent is increasingly competitive and not enough Austinites meet traditional qualifications. Let’s discuss proactive solutions that will benefit companies of all sizes and fill all open roles with local skilled talent. \n❗ To put it in perspective\, 54% of Texas jobs across industries require a certification\, but 45% of Texans meet that criteria. \n❗ The gap is even greater in the Austin metro tech industry where over 83% of jobs require post-secondary training or a 4-year degree and only 60% of job seekers meet those qualifications (Labor Insight\, Jobs Eq). \nThe answer is to develop local\, agile\, and adaptable workers that can keep pace with rapid industry evolution through a Tech Apprenticeship. \n▶ Increase retention by providing rapid and responsive workforce training and “up-skilling” models \n▶ Diversify your workforce \n▶ Impact your productivity and profitability by advancing specialty skills and credentials unique to your business \nCome learn from Austin tech employers who have integrated tech apprenticeship model into their hiring strategy and have seen the rewards \nAGENDA\n9am – Check in and networking \n9:30am – Welcome \n9:40am – Employer panel: Apprenticeships impact on the bottom line \n10:40am – Break & Meet ‘n Greet (Visit and exchange information with training providers who can make apprenticeship implementation easy) \n11am – Practical application: choosing a role\, building a program\, measuring results \n12pm – Lunch & Keynote \n12:10 – Facilitated discussion: What do you need from the local talent pool? \n12:40 – Closing statements Networking and finishing lunch \n1:15pm – Event ends \nAt this session we promise: \n✔️ NSE – a No Selling Environment. We are here to learn and gain genuine connections. We WILL\, however\, review no-cost resources for those employers interested in implementing some practices we’ll discuss during the roundtable. \n✔️ Privacy and respect. This event will be recorded solely for the purpose of research and program creation. The conversation will not be reshared with the public or registrants. A high-level recap of highlights will be shared with attendees without adding attribution to sensitive information. \n✔️ An opportunity to collaborate. Come ready to ask questions\, provide insight\, and workshop. \n❗ Note: This forum is for tech employers or employers in other industries hiring for tech-related/IT roles. Employers of all sizes\, decision-makers\, HR leaders\, and tech hiring managers are welcome and encouraged to attend.

SUMMARY:Space: How Rockets\, Satellites\, and Telescopes Are Enhancing Our World and Helping to Understand the Universe
DESCRIPTION:Space has captivated our imaginations since the dawn of humankind. Our gaze\, enhanced by evolving technologies\, has increased our understanding of the cosmos but also our world and our place in the Universe. Through increasingly capable telescopes and a better understanding of this data\, we have greatly expanded human knowledge and appreciation of our world and universe\, and our thirst for knowledge is continuously rewarded as new technologies help us see further and clearer. We have sent rockets beyond the Earth for decades\, to sense probes throughout our Solar System and beyond\, and to blanket our own world in satellites—and it’s in this latter area that we have dramatically expanded our understanding of Earth and our practical capabilities on it. Global broadcasting and communications enabled by rocket-launched satellites are so pervasive that we take them for granted. We use satellite-based mapping and GPS every day\, and everyone can get to most anywhere now with only a smartphone in hand. Satellite-based imaging of the Earth has greatly aided weather forecasting and climate science\, environment science\, national and international security\, education\, and more. And most recently\, the technologies of rockets\, satellites\, and telescopes have given us the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and provided us with breathtaking\, inspiring views of the Universe—even as technologies like the Starlink satellite network enable far more people here on Earth to access information quickly (including those great JWST images!). In fact\, the rate of annual rocket launches and the number of operational satellites have become amazing and transformative\, for our planet and society\, and the future is even more amazing. We have so many satellites in orbit now that the risks of congestion and collision are no longer insignificant. \nJoin us for this unique Austin Forum conversational event with three experts in space technologies and astronomy: Tom Markusic of Firefly Aerospace\, Moriba Jah of Privateer\, and Micaela Bagley of UT Austin’s Astronomy Department. They will discuss and show images and videos describing the current space industry prospects and challenges\, the latest astronomy insights from JWST\, and how these technologies and our continuous quests for knowledge about space and for transforming our society come together and unite us\, inspire us\, and drive human understanding. \nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:ATC Unplugged: Learning from the Past to Prepare for the Future
DESCRIPTION:The Apollo\, Challenger and Columbia Lessons Learned Program at NASA was designed to educate new generations of NASA engineers on mistakes of the past in order to prevent future accidents. Mike Ciannilli created the program after serving as the integration engineer for the Space Shuttle Columbia and having flown extensively in helicopters over Texas in an effort to help bring Columbia and her crew home\, after being lost during their return to Earth. \nIn this live discussion between Mike and ATC CEO Thom Singer\, we’ll explore how the Lessons Learned program studies how the tragic failures of all three spacecrafts may have been avoided had there been better communication and more attention to operational deviances\, a lesson that can be taken to heart across industries involving teamwork by highly specialized teams. \nREGISTER NOW \nAbout Mike Ciannilli:\nMichael “Mike” Ciannilli leads NASA’s Apollo\, Challenger\, Columbia Lessons Learned Program (ACCLLP) directing and developing a wide array of activities to innovatively and effectively share the Agency’s lessons learned to help powerfully influence NASA’s mission success across all programs and missions. \nPreviously\, Ciannilli served as NASA Test Director for the Space Shuttle Program where he lead the entire launch team through space shuttle launch countdown activities and was responsible for the processing oversight of the space shuttle orbiters and ground support systems. He also served as the Landing Recovery Director leading contingency operations during launch countdown and landing activities\, including a potential emergency flight crew recovery. \nPrior to this\, Ciannilli lead the creation and development of the internationally recognized Forever Remembered exhibit located at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida. Ciannilli has received numerous awards throughout his career\, including the prestigious Silver Snoopy Award\, NASA Exceptional Service Medal\, Launch and Landing Leadership Award\, Launch Countdown Simulation Contingency Leadership Award\, Columbia Recovery Team Award\, and a NASA Quest Outreach Award among many others. \nAbout ATC:\nThe Austin Technology Council’s mission is to support the Central Texas tech industry as a global leader in technology and business.
