Public invited to Fireside Chat on big tech happenings

The Innovation Collective is inviting all lovers of big tech to a free Fireside Chat on Dec. 8 that will breakdown the "radical new technologies" coming out of Google's "X" division.

The Google "X" website describes the division as "a diverse group of inventors and entrepreneurs who build and launch technologies that aim to improve the lives of millions, even billions, of people. Much about X is secretive, but the Google division is known for projects like Waymo, Loon, Wing, Verily and Brain. 

To better understand the specifics of "why Google is dabbling in all of those technologies and more," the Innovation Collective invited one of its product attornies who has worked with Google, Accenture and other "cutting edge companies" to speak at the chat.

The event starts at 6:30 p.m. in the Innovation Den at 418 E. Lakeside Avenue in Coeur d'Alene.
