Scott is a Tribeca Disruptor Foundation Fellow, a disruptive innovation awards program of Tribeca Film Festival. He is a TEDx speaker on disruption and success. Scott is a thought leader, speaker, and author on the Internet of Things and the Fourth Industrial Revolution and winner of the Cloud & DevOps World Award for Most Innovative and was voted Top Global IoT Influencer & Expert by Inc.

Scott has been nominated to the World Economic Forum as a committee member for the Future of the Internet. The Republic of Korea nominated Scott to represent cutting-edge research and case studies on the Internet of Things at the ITU Telecom World, United Nations. Sovereignties, governments, multinationals, and international consulting and research firms look to Scott for unrivaled insights and pulse on the changing emerging technology landscape. Scott's feature Wiley book Strive is scheduled to come out in early 2018. Find out how doing the things most uncomfortable leads to success. Pioneering thought leader Scott Amyx shows anyone striving to succeed, regardless of who or where we are, what we do or have done for a living, or how young or old we are, that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent but doing the things uncomfortable he calls “strive". Drawing on his own powerful story of an impoverished immigrant frequently told that he would mount to nothing, Amyx, now a celebrated venture capitalist and futurist, describes his meteoric rise from obscurity to prominence, which led to the hypothesis that what really drives success is not intellect, opportunities or even network but pursuing personal change that's uncomfortable.

She is an Emirati research scholar who has a wealth of professional and educational experience that includes a PhD in Forensics and Medical Sciences from the university of Western Australia, a Master's Degree in Medical Engineering from Liverpool University in the UK, and a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry from San Diego State University, USA. She has also completed a one-‐year Global Clinical Scholars Research Training programme at Harvard Medical School. Dr Al Safar's research focuses primarily on constructing the genomic structures of individuals of Arab descent in order to identify genomic segments carrying gene(s) that predispose individuals to diseases. She specifically tackles diseases that are increasing in prevalence among local communities in the UAE. Dr Al Safar has identified a gene strongly associated with the prevalence of type-‐2 diabetes among Emiratis. This is the first Genome Wide Association Study of the UAE Bedouin population and the first of its kind in the Middle East. Al Safar was one of the outstanding Arab female scientists to win the International L'Oréal-‐UNESCO Fellowship for Women in Science. She was awarded the UAE First Honor Medal by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, for being a pioneer in her field." ><img src="/English/Events/LT/PublishingImages/LT-Speakers-2018/Dr-Habiba-AlSafar.png" alt="Dr. Habiba Al Safar" /></a></div>

The internet and the web have opened an entire new world that is accessible mainly through the screens of dedicated devices. Imagine this world integrated into the built environment and engaged directly with all the senses. This is the world that we are prototyping one object at a time at the University of Miami School of Architecture. A world of objects that communicate, respond, and smartly react to your presence and your needs. The presentation surveys the work of RAD-UM, a research at U-SoA dedicated to embedded technology, from responsive household objects and connected buildings to a smart city designed from the ground up in Mexico’s Yucatan Province."
