Ray Kurzweil, futurist, inventor and author of The Singularity is Near, and other ground-breaking books on the future of computing and technology, will deliver the keynote address at the iMedia Breakthrough Summit, March 21 - 24 in Coconut Point, FL. Kurzweil has been called the restless genius by the Wall Street Journal and the ultimate thinking machine by Forbes. As you can imagine, I'm simply thrilled to have Kurzweil take the iMedia stage to inspire the Breakthrough audience with his vision of what's to come.

My enthusiasm is shared by the Breakthrough Summit Advisory Board who are all self-declared super-fans of Kurzweil. He even has the cachet to cut through the tech noise. As an example, amidst yesterdays iPad launch that had the industry blogosphere buzzing with iPad or iFad debates, Breakthrough Advisory Board member Renny Gleeson, who is also the Global Digital Strategies Director at Wieden+Kennedy aptly summed up our "get:"

Ray Kurzweil, Father of Singularity to speak at iMedia Breakthrough - put down the iPad and upload your brain NOW.

Renny, I agree.

We hope you'll join us at the Breakthrough Summit to explore the vast potential of emerging technology and media platforms. We'll dig deep into the brave new world of channels and platforms like 3D, IPTV, Digital-Out-Of-Home, Addressable TV, eReaders, the 4thScreen Home Networking, Car Technology, and other new media forms.

The iMedia Breakthrough Summit is about what's next. On the heels of Kurweil's inspirational keynote, we will spend the following two days as inventors ourselves, leveraging the collective potential of the iMedia Breakthrough Summit audience to innovate, understand and harness the emerging technology and media platforms.

Upload your brain, indeed!
