TBD Panel • Intermediate 3:30 PM Austin Convention Center: Room 9abc Beyond the Screen: Interface Pioneers on Future UI Thirty years ago the creation of graphical interfaces made computers vastly more ac- cessible than text interfaces. In the past few years, we've rapidly adopted multiple new interfaces for an ever increasing range of devices. Touch, voice and gesture are part of our daily lives now. So what's coming next? Explore the future with the pioneers of today's cutting-edge interfaces. Presented By Sony Tim Wagner, Marcus Weller, Tan Le, Avi Cieplinski Panel • Intermediate 3:30 PM Westin Austin Downtown: Continental 1-2 How Self-Driving Cars Will Remake Cities Every day, thousands of cars, trucks and buses converge on cities around the world causing traffic, accidents and air pollution.

Dr Nathan Jauvtis, Josh Rasmussen Panel • Intermediate 5:00 PM Westin Austin Downtown: Continental 1-2 The Future of the Non-Flying Auto Industry A car in every garage will soon seem as quaint as delivered milk and full-service gas stations. As more and more people move to urban cores, the notion of car ownership will shift from one car per person to fractional, on-demand and shared models. Car manufacturers, city officials, lenders and insurance companies will have to evolve their business models and services to meet the new demands. Jose Puente, Mark Haidar, Sam Zaid, Tarun Nimmagadda Panel • Intermediate 5:00 PM Westin Austin Downtown: Continental 3 The Connected Car as a New Marketplace The "Internet of Things" is growing rapidly, with both large and small players entering the market.

Umy Boonmarlart Solo • Beginner 9:30 AM Austin Convention Center: Room 8abc Can We Save the Open Web? The Internet was founded on the principle that information should be open – that ev- eryone can build together. But today, access to content is increasingly controlled by a handful of powerful corporations that collect and silo our data, leading to questions about users' privacy, consent and access. Can we defend the open web and save it for the future? Dries Buytaert Solo • Advanced 9:30 AM Westin Austin Downtown: Continental 1-2 Chevies and Teslas and Zipcars. Oh My! The auto industry has always hit the gas hard when reaching prospective buyers and was one of the first market segments to switch into digital gear. New data will be pre- sented to show how today's consumers make their driving choices. It's no longer just about owning a car; it's about giving the person behind the wheel and the passengers the ultimate driving experience.
