May 19th - Yerevan, Armenia
I'm beyond THRILLED to share my incredible experience speaking at the Yerevan Tech Forum 2K23. This international conference brought together visionaries, entrepreneurs, and innovators from around the globe to discuss the transformative power of technology. As a keynote speaker at this prestigious event, I had the privilege of sharing my insights and ideas on how we can shape a more connected and empowered future.
If you weren't there, you're mostly out of luck because It wasn't recorded - but I'm going to share some of the key messages.
Embracing the Next Revolution:
At the Yerevan Tech Forum, the air was filled with excitement and anticipation as industry leaders gathered to discuss the latest advancements in technology. The event emphasized the growing importance of digital innovation and its potential to drive positive change. The discussions centered around how these technologies can revolutionize boring businesses to create new opportunities.
I shared practical ways to use ChatGPT, AutoGPT, and Godmode.space to easily automate processes in your own and do mundane tasks even if you have no expertise.
I used a recorded example where I inputed that I wanted to buy a dog grooming business (fake example) based in Yerevan and that I wanted Godmode to conduct due diligence and reach out to the businesses individually that might be interested in selling....
.... long story short, I left it running on 'auto-approve' for 2 hours and ended up having meetings setup with lots of dog groomers and pet shop owners. Now if I was actually in the pet grooming business and wanted to buy one, this would of saved me weeks of my time to gather research and find individual businesses.
Unveiling My Vision:
On the grand stage of the Yerevan Tech Forum, I had the honor of unveiling my vision for a connected and empowered future - and how Armenia can be the forefront of this. I emphasized the need to harness technology and ambition to unlock new possibilities.
I highlighted the role of entrepreneurship in driving innovation and shaping the digital landscape - it's now DEMOCRATIZED and DECENTRALIZED! We're in the midst of the next industrial revolution were the next assembly line, tools, or computing power isn't just available to corporations, but to average people like you and I.

Building the First Digital Nation:
Armenia, with its rich history and vibrant software community, served as the perfect backdrop for this event. The Yerevan Tech Forum showcased Armenia's potential to become a leading hub for technological advancement. The collaboration between government officials, CEOs, and start-up founders highlighted the country's commitment to building the first digital nation. It was inspiring to witness the collective passion and dedication towards transforming Armenia into a thriving tech ecosystem.

Advocating for Inclusion:
Throughout my speech, I emphasized the importance of inclusivity in the digital age. As a two-time cancer survivor and hearing aid user, I shared my personal journey of overcoming challenges and embracing opportunities. I advocated for raising awareness about hearing loss and promoting inclusion for individuals with disabilities.
Last Thoughts:
The Yerevan Tech Forum was an unforgettable experience that left me inspired and motivated to continue my mission of leveraging technology for positive change. The people I met throughout the conference are driven, passionate, and share the same vision as I do.

The most memorable person was a 16-year old girl named Suzanna who drove 2 hours from her village outside of Lake Sevan to hear my speech - and after the speech she passionately told me that she is doing an exchange program to live in the US for a year but she is going to come back to bring new economic opportunities to her village with the new learnings. This is what inspires me.
The event reinforced the idea that when we come together with a shared passion and cause, we can actually unleash the true potential of technology.
