#THIS19: Digital Fight Club: Houston

RSVP at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/digital-fight-club-houston-2019-tickets-75617085739

We put 2 technology experts in a boxing ring 2 feet from each other in front of 5 accomplished “referees” and let them defend their position on a topic in their field.

We do this in front of 500 CEOs, technologists, entrepreneurs and investors. So there is no pressure.

Then we let the refs and audience (that’s you) vote for a winner. That’s not boring. That’s fun.
…and you might learn something.
