End Your Year Right: Xconomy’s Tech Agenda 2015, Dec. 2

If the cooler days and earlier sunsets weren’t enough of a clue, the flurry of tech-company product announcements should really seal the deal: time is running out on 2014. And if you’re not careful, it’s easy to wind up with a headful of spin, hype, and just plain nonsense.

We’re here to help. On Dec. 2, Xconomy is convening an all-star group of experts from the most dynamic sectors of the economy to deliver a bottom-line, must-have review of the year in innovation.

They’ll also deliver big, bold predictions for the most important trends and changes in the year to come. It’s Xconomy’s Tech Agenda 2015, hosted at the Fidelity Center for Applied Technology in Boston.

This afternoon forum will showcase the diversity and depth of new ideas taking root in robotics, research and development, digital media, venture investing, e-commerce, and more. We’re putting a premium on no-nonsense speakers who can cut through the conventional wisdom to give you a clear picture of what really matters in innovation. And, like all of our events, we’ll pack it with plenty of interactivity, discussion, and networking to make sure you’re involved.

You’ll want to get your tickets now to lock in the best prices possible for this event, which will feature discussion from:
