The world is amazing! Everyday there are more and more remarkable discoveries, inventions and technologies being developed. It can seem overwhelming, trying to plan for every possible scenario, trying to decipher the impact each new innovation will have on our businesses, communities and our joint future. Industries that have seemed steady and unchanged are being rocked to their core. But for those of us willing to look deeper we will not only begin to understand the "why's" but will see the unique and once in a lifetime opportunities hiding in emerging technologies and philosophies. John McElliott, (CEO and Founder of 3TC Development, Robotics and Technology as well as CEO of The Fortress) will give us a crash course in emerging topics in technology, development and community building, and he will discuss some of the endless possibilities for the utility industry if we shift mindset and Embrace Disruption.
