Rebecca Costa

World renowned American sociobiologist, author and speaker Rebecca Costa will be delivering our keynote speech. A provocative new voice in the mold of Thomas Friedman, Malcom Gladwell and Jared Diamond, Ms. Costa applies lessons learned from nature to the disruption many industries presently face: from healthcare, finance, manufacturing, food processing, energy and social services to education, governance, transportation, technology and retail. Costa's book, The Watchman's Rattle: A Radical New Theory of Collapse, was published in 26 countries and has remained in the top 1% of Amazon book sales for five straight years.

Keynote Session:
Ms. Costa will talk about the complex world we live in and how Predictive Analytics and Big Data can help us solve some of the big problems we face today, including challenges around our agricultural systems.
