Change…it is happening at such an incredible pace that the average person may find it difficult to keep up with advancements in the areas of science, technology, aerospace, transportation, communications, and more. The Greater Palm Bay Chamber is bringing together some of the most cutting-edge and powerful innovators of industry with the 5th Space Coast Symposium on August 25th from 8-12:30 at the Space Coast Convention Center located at 301 Tucker Lane in Cocoa, FL. This year’s themes are Sustainability and Artificial Intelligence/Augmented Reality.
Chat Gpt is a hot topic, and Terrance McMahon will present a keynote talk on how to Launch Chat Gpt in 30 minutes. He is providing a copy of his book “The One Hour Book: How to Write Your Book in Record Time Using Chat Gpt” to every attendee.
