Marc Andreessen’s audacious “software eats the world” (2011) thesis has switched in Tech to a more down-to-earth “safety eats the world” mentality in the wake of SXSW20’s cancellation. In “2021 CX Report: Safety Eats the World” I gathered the trends for greater human safety in the workplace and at home in experience design and technology for both private and public sectors. I also shared my emerging insights from moving into the critical event management space to tackle current and future negative black swan events with technology and design. Guest cameo appearances on stage by Annie Jean-Baptiste, Bon Ku M.D., Wendy Johansson, Mea Cole Tefka, Alison Rand, Alexis Lloyd, Julie Finkelstein, Justin McElderry, Kevin Bethune, Ijeoma Azodo M.D., Kat Holmes, Teema Kabba.
