Hosted by Cambridge House–who are more well-known for their resource-based conferences–the Extraordinary Future 2017 conference focused on the technologies that “directly impact the course of our lives.” As such, the conference featured a number of exhibitors and speakers in industries such as: artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented reality, energy, blockchain, and technology and finance, to name a few.
