History & Leadership
The 2nd Future Worlds Symposium was held in 2019 at the Sacramento Public Library with the opening keynote by Michael Wilkening, Special Advisor on Innovation & Digital Services, Office of Governor and the technical keynote by Mighael Botha, CTA, N America, Software AG. The successful event included innovative speakers and panels covering topics such as Digital Inclusion, Innovation in Government, education and Data Storytelling.
The 1st Future Worlds Symposium, fire-starter event, was held two years ago on Aug 2nd at Sacramento City Hall, City Council Chambers, with great success – we had an awesome, inspiring Keynote from Dr Vint Cerf, known as a “Father of the Internet,” support and partnership of City of Sacramento, Welcome by City of Sacramento Mayor, Darrell Steinberg and Q&A by Chief Innovation Officer, Louis Stewart.
We are looking forward to a very collaborative event with 3 ACM Chapters co-operating to develop the theme:
- ACM Sacramento Chapter (Professionals Chapter)
- Sac State ACM Chapter (one of the very oldest Student Chapters nationwide)
- Los Rios Community College District Student Chapter (recently started last year, spanning 4 colleges – Sacramento City College, Consumnes River College, American River College and Folsom Lake College)
