Bakken & Bæck researchers Amelie Dinh + Iris Cuppen will look at hype as a promise, and the stories, metaphors, and characters that make up a compelling tech hype.
Gemma Milne, hype researcher and author of Smoke and Mirrors: How Hype Obscures the Future and How to see Past It, will talk about how tech hype moves money and attention, and how practitioners and companies can live — and work — with it.
