FANTASTIC presentation. Easily the best presentation on the Blackchain I have EVER seen. Loved the insights. Loved the passion.
Jeremy Epstein, CEO of Never Stop Marketing, has 20 years of international marketing experience in helping to bring innovative technologies into the mainstream. Most recently, Jeremy was VP, Marketing at Sprinklr which grew from a $20 million valuation and 30 people to $1.3 billion valuation and 900 people in 3 years.
Previous work experience includes Microsoft and consulting to start-ups, mid-market firms, and enterprises, including JNJ, Yes To Carrots, and two NY Times best-selling authors (Dan Pink and Gretchen Rubin). Jeremy also spent 3 years living and working in Frankfurt, Germany and Tokyo, Japan.
Jeremy is the author of numerous whitepapers and a book, appropriately titled, It's ALL on the Blog, DON'T Buy the Book, and has presented to hundreds of audiences in 15 countries. Jeremy has been the top-ranked speaker at multiple conferences including Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conferences and Microsoft CIO summit, among others.
Jeremy currently works with some of the leading and most innovative companies in the blockchain/decentralization space including OB1, OpenBazaar, and Storj. He also facilitates the Decentralized Marketing Network, a peer-to-peer network for start-ups looking to disrupt major industries. In December of 2016, he edited and published a collaborative eBook with 33 of the biggest influencers and thought-leaders called "Blockchains in the Mainstream: When Will Everyone Else Know?"
Jeremy takes great joy in being an early adopter of new technologies, celebrating the victories (like buying Bitcoin at $80) and the defeats (too many to list) equally.
Described by more than one client as a "shot of marketing espresso," Jeremy discovered his calling for marketing while living in Tokyo in 1997 after reading Peppers and Rodgers "The 1:1 Future" and hasn't looked back since.
Jeremy was a History major at Johns Hopkins, a skill which he wholeheartedly believes prepared him for the marketing profession. By far, the toughest and most rewarding job he has is to be a kind, thoughtful, and sensitive husband to his wife of 16 years and a patient father of 3 kids on the precipice of being teenagers.
Blockchains are significant because at their core, they represent a radical shift from trust in institutions and people into trust in transparent processes, math, code, and decentralized systems. Blockchains will impact the distribution of value in the way that the internet impacted the distribution of information. The implications are vast for business, society, and government both in terms of disintermediation of existing third parties and new avenues for value creation.
As blockchain-enabled solutions become more prevalent, customer expectations will change. This session will arm with you an understanding of the new paradigm and offer you concrete suggestions for what you can do to ready your organization and yourself.
With a 20+ year track record of identifying and articulating the impact of emerging waves of disruptive technology for mainstream audiences, Jeremy Epstein will help you get your head around the concept of "AI." Artificial Intelligence is everywhere, but what is it exactly? How do you begin to harness it for competitive advantage? What are some of the potential risks and rewards?
Every wave of technology impacts the conduct of business. On the one hand, you are afforded new tools and capabilities for enhancing your customer relationship (email, Twitter, location services, just to name a few). On the other hand, each wave requires a systematic re-thinking of how you relate to your customers and prospects (faster, more conversational, and mobile).
For the past 4 years, Jeremy Epstein has gone deep into the world of Bitcoin, blockchain, and crypto-assets in order to understand how this wave may impact you in the future. The author of 3 books on the topic of blockchain and marketing, the former CMO of "unicorn" start-up Sprinklr, Jeremy has a unique ability to make technical concepts consumable and provide a practical framework for thriving in a world of technology-driven change.
This provides the business justification for investing in crypto-assets as an "asymmetric bet" opportunity, while recognizing the significant risks.
