Meet our #CES2020 team! It truly takes a village to pull off a great experience at an event. And the Hexagon village is a great one! Stop by CP 15 at @CES to meet them, see the magic they worked and hear how Hexagon is empowering an #autonomous future!

“Reminding you that you are inconsequential is what cities do... [they] force you to reckon with being an actual member of society.”

At the WeWork that houses The Atlantic’s San Francisco bureau, a pink neon sign once hung, reading: “Do what you love.” What you love is working, isn’t it? citylab.com/life/2019/09/wew…

I'm late to the party on this one, but @Gartner_inc's concept of the "trough of disillusionment" has me dying 😂 Brilliant. (and from the looks of it, seemingly accurate) gartner.com/smarterwithgartn…
