March meetup - SciFi Wednesday - The Future of Wearable Technology with WoW

Sci-fi used to be about predicting the future, but now the future is here and the technology that was once an imagination is now a reality that is impacting businesses in all industries. We want to focus on the different technologies and dive deep into how we can use it today and in the future. SAP Next-Gen - in partnership with Women of Wearables brings to you an interactive science fiction workshop during which you will hear from a group of innovators in the wearable technology space and then you yourself will use your SciFi creativity to dream up new concepts that will define the future of what we wear.
