Forward-Looking Tech and Tech Trends — Matt Watts

I’m an ambivert and an engineer, it’s taken a lot of different experiences in order for me to realise that this is the most appropriate description for who I am though. I’ve always had a lot to say, I think being an engineer means I’m constantly looking for solutions to problems or analysing things to see how they could be done better, or sometimes just wondering why someone made a particular decision on how to build something. Then I want to chat about it. As Chief Technology Evangelist (CTE), I provide guidance on NetApp’s strategy & technology to a diverse range of companies and our Partner Community. My role as the CTE is not so much talking about how technology works but rather to get people interested enough so that they want to know how technology works.

Mountains of the Mind - Bonita Norris

What does it take to go beyond your limits? To have an impossible dream and turn it into a reality? 

For beginner mountaineer Bonita Norris, it was to reach the summit of Everest, but as she came to learn- the most difficult challenge wasn’t Everest itself. 

This talk explores how we can conquer the biggest mountain of all: the mountain of the mind.
