This week, I had the opportunity to go down to the Collision Conference (thank you Ryan!) which for the first time ever was held in Toronto. You could feel the significance of it taking place here in Toronto and Canada. Toronto is increasingly becoming a leader in technology and startups and to see people from all over the world including some of the best companies and investors from Silicon Valley, China, and Israel was visceral and eye-opening. So what is Collision? I can only describe it as Coachella for Tech People. I haven’t had the chance to go to a conference of this scale before and so for me it was absolutely incredible and overwhelming. I am still doing a lot of processing and I plan on creating another podcast with some of the takeaways I got from speaking to other companies, observing, networking, and listening to some amazing talks. For now, I wanted to share a podcast from my journey down to Toronto. You’ll hear my truck humming in the back. But, I don’t often get 2 hours (okay quite a bit of traffic it was 3 hours) to myself and I took the opportunity to share a lot more about what we are working on at Speak AI Inc. This includes automated versus human transcription, extracting keywords, brands, topics, and emotions, the power of using transcriptions for marketing and SEO, our work on building an interactive embeddable player, machine learning and artificial intelligence, and our experience exhibiting Speak at the Discovery Conference in Toronto the week before. If you are interested in what we are doing this is an awesome episode to understand a lot more of our work and mission. As always, thank you for listening and please feel encouraged to connect. Transcription (Unedited) Alright so go down today collision conference down here in Toronto, so in the truck on the way down trying to beat some traffic here, then actually starts at. 9 AM. Leaving left at 5:45 today to get into this conference pretty early. I feel too optimistic about that and one thing I’ve noticed I’m not sure what’s going on here. I don’t have a lot slower on the 401 and a lot of people right now, again truck here, so you’re right along with the with the journey. Cars flying by me. Another. Little slower these days. And. Part of that I think the smallness is. Coming back from a long weekend here, so Victoria Day weekend. Canadian. And. It’s weird that there is this. Biological clock in humans and end for something like ours so. Sceptical by 95 and then like vacations. All you get like vacations in certain times. But in terms of that. We’ve picked really good vacation times like I feel like our. Vacation there holidays really align with the shifting season. People seem to be a lot of times placed right at the exact time when a lot of people are starting to get stressed or you know just wanted sort of time for a break. Call. Long weekend is over and I’m back in at 1:10 on the 4:01 while people have been buying me at 1:40. This Discovery Conference Conference and the reason why I say Discovery Conference is actually Discovery Conference last week. So it’s been stacked up couple weeks here in terms of conferences. First, one voices discovery conference down in trono, which was last week and at this one. We actually got the chance to exhibit, which is really cool. So I’ve been working on this project obviously speak speak. I think is the actual company. Make appointment of progress on our on our application and because of our smart start recipient status, I guess are. $30,000 in France and some support to actually exhibit down at this conference and so this discovery conference 4000 people t
