Technological innovation has prompted sweeping changes in how we live and do business.  Businesses face the challenge of incorporating new technologies and social media into traditional business models. The WPI Venture Forum will open its 21st season on Tuesday, September 13 with two keynote speakers who will offer a revealing look ahead to the promise that tomorrow’s technologies hold for today’s business entrepreneurs.  Scott Kirsner, Sunday Boston Globe, longtime technology reporter and “Innovation Economy” columnist, constantly asks the question, “How do innovations that matter get introduced to the world?” He will offer his view of the future projected from his research and his conversations with technology visionaries.  Social media forecaster Patrick O’Malley will address “the what, the why and the ROI” of these tools and techniques to provide specific actions for the success of your business.
