These days, many of us are so focused on the day to day that we lose sight of the incredible need to focus on future possibilities. David Polinchock makes you see the world through a different set of lenses and imagine new ways to think and grow. The endless opportunities for business growth spew from this man’s incredible creative mind in unimaginable ways. He is a talent you simply have to experience. Mort Goldstrom, Newspaper Association of America
I speak on the future of retail, emerging tech, with an emphasis on VR and AR; Gen Z and digital natives (traveling with my daughter, Sydney, when she's available) and brand experiences. In addition, I provide workshops on brand storytelling, helping companies understand and articulate their unique stories. I am available to present both keynotes and workshops, depending upon the clients needs. You can click here to see more about my previous speaking engagements.
David is trying to connect technological thinking with making. He can think about these interesting new technologies that work at 30,000 and he shows how it works at ground level. Brian Collins, Designer
My presentations combine my 30 years of work experience and theatrical training with a vast knowledge of technology to create engaging programs for the entire audience. I believe that it is not enough today to simply play with the latest technologies; we must understand their role in moving your brand story forward. Where Marshall McLuhan once said, "The medium is the message," today's world has now moved beyond that simple statement.
David’s presentations engage the crowd whether they are playing an audience participation game on screen or hearing about new technologies that will help their business. He’s always on the cutting edge and he doesn’t just deliver a speech - he lives his message. Marcia Tabler, Retail Advertising & Marketing Association
In addition to speaking on VR/AR and Gen Z & Digital Natives, I speak about a number of topics, including:
- For 12 years, I have given tours of CES to senior brand and agency executives, helping them understand both the tech trends of the show and more importantly, how those trends will impact their businesses. Equally as important, I help them understand trends that might not be trends at all.
- The future of retail and the technologies impacting retail
- Emerging trends, innovation, the future of advertising and the technologies impacting advertising
- The role of experience
- The socialization of place
- I've also frequently brought some examples of cool technologies with me, including a group game demo, interactive cell phone games and augmented reality.
I've also done a number of experience walking tours around Manhattan and other locations. With advance planning, I can custom design a walking tour for you and your location, just let me know what you need.
Additionally, I have also taught classes for Rutgers, FIT, NYU, CMU, Columbia and Montclair State University, among others.
This was the best presentation of the course. Very engaging and enthusiastic. I loved his energy and openess. I will remember this session for life. I loved his storytelling. He was confident and knowledgeable. Student, Rutgers Mini MBA program
