Beyond the Screen: IRL Tech Talk is where the glowing rectangles in our hands finally give way to face-to-face conversations, live demos, and shared wonder. In an era when so much of technology is filtered through feeds and algorithms, this kind of in-person gathering reminds listeners that innovation is ultimately about people, place, and presence.Industry trend-watchers are already calling 2026 the year we live our best lives beyond the screen, with Campaign’s Year Ahead outlook highlighting a growing demand for immersive, real-world experiences that blend tech, creativity, and culture. At the same time, the world’s biggest stages for innovation are leaning into that shift. CES 2026 in Las Vegas has just wrapped, and TechCrunch reports that the show floor was dominated by “physical AI” and robotics, from Nvidia’s new Rubin architecture and Alpamayo models for autonomous vehicles, to LG’s CLOiD home robot gingerly loading laundry and even handling a croissant. Those machines are impressive, but what makes them meaningful is the debate they spark when people gather in the same room to talk about how they’ll shape daily life.Beyond the Screen: IRL Tech Talk fits squarely into this moment. Think of it as a live, human-scale counterpart to the massive trade shows. Instead of passively scrolling through headlines about Ford’s upcoming AI driving assistant, listeners can hear experts unpack how off‑the‑shelf language models will change the driving experience, ask tough questions about safety and privacy, and compare that to what Boston Dynamics and Google are doing with Atlas robots on industrial sites. Rather than reading a blurb about Lego’s first Smart Bricks demo, they can touch emerging interfaces, explore how kids might learn with them, and wrestle with what “play” means in an age of smart everything.There is also a cultural and creative dimension. Museums like the Museum of the Moving Image in New York have embraced permanent exhibitions such as Behind the Screen to reveal the craft behind film and television, and a similar spirit drives IRL Tech Talk: pulling back the curtain on the pipelines, ethics, and people behind today’s devices and platforms. In an attention economy ruled by second screens and endless scrolling, that kind of slow, in-person exploration has become a radical act.Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss an episode.
