Pebble Beach Authors & Ideas Festival

Published: Friday, 05 November 2021

I was invited to speak at the Pebble Beach Authors & Ideas Festival (PBAIF) in Pebble Beach.  What a stunning part of the world!  Most other speakers there are published authors - which I am not.  I spoke about my robots and how books influenced me to get into robotics.  I then ran a breakout session abut the future of robotics and the components required for a successful robotics company.  It was delightful to spend a few days in such a beautiful part of the world, sharing ideas!
