Neil Schneider

We are looking for speakers for the fifth edition of Immersed running November 8-9, 2018 in Toronto, Canada! Future computing is all about building what’s next through the dedicated pillars of computer horsepower and peripherals, immersive technology, and innovative content & applications. While each pillar stands on its own, their success contributes to an interrelated ecosystem that positively impacts everyone.

We want speakers who can educate fellow market players and developers on things to come, and can also awaken the excitement of businesses and organizations that should be using these technologies and concepts as part of their day to day.  Reach out!

For those who have never heard of future computing before, this was Neil Schneider’s introductory presentation that took place at a private TIFCA launch event during Game Developers Conference 2018.  Neil Schneider is the Executive Director of TIFCA, and this presentation covers future computing, challenges the market faces, and industry developments.  We will publish additional sessions shortly.  The TIFCA launch event was sponsored by Intel.
