to all who followed instructions and registered here/this-site. Sorry, unable to ACCOMMODATE/CONFIRM ALL for this SPECIAL EVENT.
to those who let us know that could not make it, respecting our instructions
to the attendees for respecting our request, and switching off their phones during the event, and making it easy to comply with Google PR's simple terms!
Massimo Mascaro — was here as a FRIEND of HCCUG.org™ COMMUNITY and is NOT here in his official capacity, i.e., Technical Director of Applied AI at Google.
He has been in pivotal roles at various Tier-1's (e.g., Microsoft Research), and has an uncanny ability to straddle Research and Real-world. What matters to us more is that he is a polite no-bull straight-shooter and above all a genuine person!
PROOF: at no cost to us, he is here on a Saturday, sharing with us his family time!
Google PR for fast tacking the clearance of Massimo to speak and keeping it simple for us!
Microsoft Houston, for sponsoring our venue on a Saturday at no-cost to us
our volunteers, specifically Tin Le, John, and especially Scott Wierschem ... for being there always!
last but not the least, our Founding Patron (Hybrid Decisions Corp) without whom we would NOT be around.
*** Even with all our announcements and multiple notifications that only CONFIRMED registrants can attend ... and NO Walk-ins ... we still had to turn-away folks!
We did this to recognize the MANY folks who TRULY VALUE the amount of effort that so many of us (e.g., Speaker, Volunteers, Sponsors, etc.) put in to make events like this happen especially at NO-COST for our community/attendees ~and~ follow the instructions!
