Bill Gates Hologram at WCIT

Category: Microsoft

I’d been asked a gazillion times by partners & friends alike as to whether Gates was coming to WCIT this year few months prior to the conference. For PR reasons we were not supposed to speak for the company but now that it’s almost a month over, I can now tell you that Bill did make his appearance in WCIT but only virtually. But does it really matter? Even if he was there speaking live you wouldn’t be able to physically touch him anyway! :mrgreen:
   
 Click below to watch his hologram appearance at the WCIT.

But what about yours truly?
     
   
     
I was only there very briefly on the last day so I won’t elaborate much on it.
     

But my colleagues who were there on duty throughout the 4 days had shared their 2 cents worth @ their respective blogs.
