As we step into a new era of innovation, technology is becoming less visible—but more powerful than ever. The next great shift won’t be about what’s in our hands—it’ll be what’s around us. In this engaging, forward-thinking keynote, Amanda Sarratore explores how ambient computing, AI, wearables, and context-aware systems are quietly revolutionizing our daily lives, careers, and industries.

Drawing from 20+ years of IT leadership in higher education and digital transformation, Amanda breaks down what ambient tech means, where it’s already happening, and what it means for professionals across all areas of STEAM.
