“We’ve seen technology change the way that the world thinks and
communicates over the past couple decades and I think that we are
getting ready for another major shift with the emergence of Virtual
and Augmented Reality,” said Randi Zuckerberg. “No matter
how much people think they know what is coming, these revolutionary
technologies are likely to exceed all expectations with
applications canvasing social media, entertainment, business and
much more. I am excited to be able to share my thoughts at The
B.I.G. Summit.”

founder and CEO of Zuckerberg Media, a media and production
company, and Editor-in-Chief of Dot Complicated, an online
community helping us navigate and "untangle" our wired, wonderful
lives. Randi recently released her first books with HarperCollins,
The New York Times Best Seller, Dot Complicated, which addresses
the multifaceted complications of our socially transparent world,
and a children's picture book, titled Dot. As an early executive at
Facebook, Randi created and ran the social media pioneer's
marketing programs and was nominated for an Emmy Award in 2011 for
her innovative coverage of the 2010 mid-term elections. Since

opportunity for attendees to network and gain insight from the very
best in the industry. We are excited to partner with the Miami

on her knowledge and insights from the front lines of Silicon

and what consumers and businesses need to do to make sure they
aren’t left behind.
