Is there an event that brings together executives, developers, entrepreneurs, strategists, and marketers to explore how voice-first technologies are transforming our world? There is and it’s called The Alexa Conference, happening January 15–17 in Chattanooga, TN.

“The tech world is changing, and with it, our expectations as a culture on how we interact with computers,” says Bradley Metrock, executive producer of The Alexa Conference and host of This Week In Voice by VoiceFirst.FM. “Increasingly, we want to be able to interact with our voice, first. Voice-first technology is an inevitable destination for computing. This shift impacts every industry, every company, and every person. The Alexa Conference is driving voice innovation forward, along with associated areas like AI, machine learning, smart speakers and more.”

Among the featured presenters is Kesha Williams, software engineering manager for Chick-fil-A corporate and Alexa Conference keynote. Williams is an award-winning software engineer who developed several popular Alexa skills and was featured on Amazon’s “Alexa Women of Voice” campaign.

The featured presenter lineup also includes Nolan Bushnell, CEO of X2 Games. Bushnell, who previously established Atari, Inc. and the Chuck E. Cheese’s Pizza Time Theatre chain, will present on “Alexa and Entertainment: Alexa’s Groundbreaking Opportunity,” along with Zai Ortiz, president, co-founder and chief creative officer of X2 Games.
