Nelson is the featured speaker at the ALCTS President's Program at the 2016 ALA Annual Conference in Orlando. As new tools and business models emerge over the next decade, cloud technology combined with broadband wireless, sensors, Big Data and machine learning will transform how we interact with information and will fundamentally change the way we interact with the world and each other.
