“WOW! Dr. Kraft (as one person put it today) is five people in one. His breadth of knowledge experience, message, stage presence, etc. made every dollar worth it. He actually fired up a telepresence robot at Singularity and drove it from his computer and had a conversation live on stage with someone who was in the office at 6AM in CA. He blew them all away, was often quoted and was a great start to a very successful Forum. Loved him!”
