Beyond the Screen: IRL Tech Talk is where the rapidly evolving world of technology meets real-world stories, expert analysis, and the big-picture conversations driving the digital transformation in every sector. This week, the conversation is buzzing about how major events and industries are reshaping what's possible both on and beyond our devices.
An exciting highlight comes from the recent 2025 Golf Open Championship. Steve Otto, CTO of The R&A, shared how a massive 20-meter-wide digital board delivered live, immersive statistics to fans right on the course, proving that even a tradition-rich sport like golf is using data and real-time analytics for deeper fan engagement. Otto explained that behind the scenes, the team relied on fiber networks for years, but is now preparing to trial private 5G broadcasts, planning scalable solutions that will impact not just golf majors but events across sports and entertainment. Their early experiments with AI, including people tracking in merchandise shops, show just how far event tech is willing to go to adapt and innovate for future audiences, emphasizing that digital enhancements are now a central part of the fan experience, not a gimmick.
The momentum of in-person tech gatherings continues with major conferences like Live 360 Tech Con 2025, set for November in Orlando. Bringing together IT leaders, developers, and enterprise architects, this five-day event is where executives make high-stakes decisions for cloud adoption, security, and next-gen infrastructure. Attendee lists circulating among vendors are already prompting early networking and long-term relationship building. Live 360’s focus on hands-on workshops, networking, and theme-driven tracks, especially on AI and cloud, marks a strong return to face-to-face, high-touch engagement and indicates that IRL tech talk is shaping the critical path for enterprise innovation.
On the customer experience front, events like Xperience 2025 in Nashville are delving into how agentic AI—AI that can take meaningful action—will redefine customer service strategies. The conversation is about more than just automation; it's about giving both customers and companies true autonomy for orchestrating experiences. Actionable sessions, hands-on workshops, and a packed schedule highlight how even the biggest brands are looking for ways to stay ahead through interactive and human-centered approaches.
Meanwhile, headlines in the financial technology world are echoing with the energy of Annual Fintech Summit 2025 in Singapore. Fintech founders, regulators, and investors from around the globe are gathering to share trends and meet the disruptors who are remaking financial services, payments, and digital banking, proving that tech talk, when taken IRL, can drive the partnerships and policy shifts that ripple out worldwide.
Not to be ignored, this summer’s IPO market has been bustling, with US tech IPOs leading the charge and new issuers outperforming typical stock indices. Dealogic data shows eight tech IPOs in the US crossing the $100 million mark already this year, and the pipeline for late 2025 is strong as market sentiment lifts. Startups specializing in AI-powered design tools, cloud infrastructure, and real-time analytics are the ones to watch, as major public offerings are increasingly driven by investor appetite for scalable, transformative technology.
Everywhere you look, from iconic sports to finance, the big leap is happening away from screens and into the real world, where technology enables connection, learning, and business. At its best, IRL tech talk empowers people to translate code, data, and automation into human experiences and visionary strategies.
