16:07:57 <Karen> ...she is the business development leader for North America and Australia
16:08:03 <Karen> ...someone who is important in this work I'm doing

16:08:27 <Karen> ...I want to thank them for recognizing importance of forming the W3C chapter
16:08:42 <Karen> ...and for becoming an evangelist of 2018
16:08:53 <Karen> ...and thank you your help
16:09:00 <Karen> ...the genesis of NY Chapter
16:09:19 <Karen> ...started back in 2018 with this notion of SymposiumX
16:09:31 <Karen> ..."X" can mean many things; x factor, target
16:09:49 <Karen> ...SymposiumX created as notion for financial innovation on the web
16:10:07 <Karen> ...we put together expert panel discussions to showcase financial innovation
16:10:18 <Karen> ...first event we did was in November 2018
16:10:29 <Karen> [plays video]
16:11:27 <Karen> [Web Authentication, Payment Innovation, Accessibility topics in this video]
16:12:07 <Karen> Rachel: What I just showed was video of themes of SymposiumX since 2018
16:12:14 <Karen> ...we are going to our sixth event this Fall
16:12:18 <Karen> ...we have been consistent
16:12:28 <Karen> ...plan in 2021 is to have spring, summer and fall SymposiumX
16:12:40 <Karen> ...and I will explain how we have grown into notion of WebInnovation week
16:12:49 <Karen> ...it will have this spring-summer-fall cadence
16:12:51 <Karen> ...that is the plan
16:13:01 <Karen> ...It is wonderful for me to see some of the faces here
16:13:05 <Karen> ...At the first SymposiumX
16:13:23 <Karen> ...some of speakers included Jeff Jaffe, W3C CEO was keynote
16:13:52 <Karen> ...we had speakers from Google, also Ian Jacobs of W3C; and American Express, The Clearing House, Shopify
16:14:03 <Karen> ...we have decided it's important to have quality presentations
16:14:13 <Karen> ...no one pays to speak; we extend invitations to thought leaders
16:14:29 <Karen> ...we want to recognize W3C tech and business leaders and make sure that when participants come
16:14:40 <Karen> ...they are in the midst of experts and thought leaders in that domain
16:14:58 <Karen> ...for a new event, I received solicitations to speak
16:15:14 <Karen> ...we kept with our commitment to excellence; you cannot buy seat to speak
16:15:32 <Karen> ...in Spring 2019 we had speakers from Yubico, Consensys, WorldPay
16:15:58 <Karen> ...which happened to be two weeks before their acquisition by FIS; I believe the biggest acquisition in financial services
16:16:05 <Karen> ...Worldpay made big headlines
16:16:23 <Karen> ...in 2019 we focused on financial innovation, and also security, privacy and identity
16:16:35 <Karen> ...from W3C Alan Bird and Wendy Seltzer also spoke
16:16:52 <Karen> ...In fall 2019 we recognized that we need to talk about the business interests
16:17:02 <Karen> ...and we focused on web monetization
16:17:06 <Karen> ...we invited the CEO of Coil
16:17:29 <Karen> ...and we invited some working group chairs to speak on Privacy, Identity and Decentralized Identifiers and also Blockchain
16:17:45 <Karen> ...things in new trends, and of big interest as we observed in the industry
16:17:53 <Karen> ...the core value of SymposiumX
16:18:01 <Karen> ...three things: it's about community
16:18:11 <Karen> ...build next gen tech standards
16:18:20 <Karen> ...have experts, and do business networking
16:18:26 <Karen> ...this is why we want a SymposiumX
16:18:37 <Karen> ...Next, I want to go into the launch of the NYMetro Chapter in 2020
16:18:54 <Karen> ...we of course  we are experiencing a pandemic
16:19:05 <Karen> ...at start of the year, I wanted to do a spring event
16:19:14 <Karen> ...we reserved a beautiful conference center on Wall Street
16:19:29 <Karen> ...and I like to have fun, serving them nice hors d'oeuvres afterwards
16:19:37 <Karen> ...then the lockdown came in NYC in March
16:19:45 <Karen> ...the lockdown was a decision point
16:19:51 <Karen> ...so I changed the format to podcasts
16:20:06 <Karen> ...I have a number of nice keynotes from Worldpay, Steve Cole spoke on security
16:20:18 <Karen> ...Regine Gilbert spoke on web accessibility along with other experts
16:20:32 <Karen> ...I launched these podcasts and started to move into the digital direction
16:20:39 <Karen> ...while focusing on financial innovation
16:20:57 <Karen> ...one positive outcome was to carry out our goal of thought leadership using digital media
16:21:13 <Karen> ...Alan Bird approached me in July to host a W3C Chapter in New York City
16:21:17 <Karen> ...of course I said yes
16:21:24 <Karen> ...and felt intuitively it was a timely move
16:21:44 <Karen> ...we need that kind of community presence now more than ever because of what we are experiencing [with COVID]
16:21:59 <Karen> ...so I signed a contract/agreement on how to function
16:22:07 <Karen> ..and share with you how and what a W3C Chapter means
16:22:13 <Karen> ...there are some formal obligations to fulfill
16:22:18 <Karen> ...and how we carry out our activities
16:22:28 <Karen> ...so the NY Metro Chapter launch happened in August 2020
16:22:46 <Karen> ...my company FortuneTimesGroup hosts the W3C NY Metro Chapter
16:22:55 <Karen> ...just two months ago, in August 2020 we launched it
16:23:00 <Karen> ...I want to go through a few things
16:23:14 <Karen> [plays video]
16:23:50 <Karen> [goals, mission of W3C highlighted]
16:26:54 <Karen> Rachel: with these past phases, we learned a lot
16:27:08 <Karen> ...I feel blessed about moving forward with this leadership and community that we want to build
16:27:17 <Karen> ...I want to show what this means in terms of the core values
16:27:28 <Karen> ...SymposiumX is about communities, experts, and networking
16:27:43 <Karen> ...we want to carry on the next steps of AccelerationX to focus on innovation and startups
16:27:59 <Karen> ...and CertificationX is about professional development at both technology and business levels
16:28:06 <Karen> ...and how to move the tech into products and services
16:28:16 <Karen> ...core values, and I use the word WebInnovationX
16:28:21 <Karen> ...I like the "X" letter
16:28:38 <Karen> ...in these three areas, we want to recognize leadership in business, technology and innovation
16:28:44 <Karen> ...and carry it a step forward
16:28:57 <Karen> ...not only as a W3C Chapter, but also do research into impact of web
16:29:05 <Karen> ...and another timely topic about diversity and inclusion
16:29:15 <Karen> ...in past, it was harder to find women speakers
16:29:23 <Karen> ...to speak at SymposiumX
16:29:29 <Karen> ...this is something we can do
16:29:52 <Karen> ...me as a woman in technology and in business, we have to help each other and promote women and diversity of minority groups
16:30:00 <Karen> ...about how to tap into this innovation pipeline
16:30:10 <Karen> ...Also looking into podcasts; I'm learning how to do these
16:30:15 <Karen> ...and the different videos
16:30:32 <Karen> ...I am not a media house or a media person, but I recognize media is important to promote our work
16:30:41 <Karen> ...another thing I want to share
16:30:46 <Karen> ...when people come to SymposiumX
16:30:55 <Karen> ...when we met in person, it was quite an intimate event
16:31:16 <Karen> ...after the event, I make a lot of friends; a lot of people came, enjoyed it and had good feelings about it
16:31:26 <Karen> ...I felt it important to have some social events and have fun
16:31:36 <Karen> ...I have done that well, those of you who know me know I like food
16:31:47 <Karen> ...I offered champagne after the events
16:31:56 <Karen> ...carrying that one step further, in summer 2020
16:32:08 <Karen> ...I used an event by jazz singer Nina Blue
16:32:16 <Karen> ...and I also contributed that to TPAC social event
16:32:34 <Karen> ...I dedicated that presentation, and chose motivational songs to acknowledge
16:32:46 <Karen> ...the difficult situation the entertainment industry has experienced
16:33:09 <Karen> ...I know that there are a lot of things that the web and innovation can really help this and many other communities in business in NYC
16:33:18 <Karen> ...wanted to stress fun with social events
16:33:26 <Karen> ...and now I would like to encourage you to share your point of view
16:33:26 <vivien> present+ Josh_Cohen
16:33:35 <Karen> ...what is the most important for you when you come to a W3C chapter
16:33:41 <Karen> ...what is needed in your opinion
16:33:50 <Karen> ...you can do it privately to me or to the whole group via chat
16:33:55 <Karen> ...I am seeing the chat
16:34:10 <Karen> ...thank you for saying this is exciting
16:34:19 <Karen> ...I want to make an exciting NYMetro chapter for W3C
16:34:33 <Karen> ...I have already been using #webinnovationx as handle in social media
16:34:39 <Karen> ...YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.
16:34:48 <Karen> ...if you want to provide feedback, please do so
16:34:58 <Karen> ...and I am the only rachelyager on LinkedIn
16:35:15 <Karen> ...please reach out to me about how we can serve you better, make this exciting, make innovation better
16:35:28 <Karen> ...and have support of W3C itself and the local chapter to really care about what you want
16:35:42 <Karen> ...to move forward, do innovation, make the web better, and support our community
16:35:50 <Karen> ...that is suffering because of the pandemic
16:36:01 <Karen> ...again, please put in chat what you think is important for you
16:36:16 <Karen> ...experts, knowledge, open innovation; you may be startup, may want professional development
16:36:21 <Karen> ...Going to next slide now
16:36:26 <Karen> ...show the launch events
16:36:31 <Karen> [video]
16:36:36 <Karen> ...We invited the Zoom CIO
16:36:40 <Karen> ...to keynote
16:37:12 <Karen> ...that was the video for SymposiumX in August 2020 during Web Innovation Week
16:37:21 <Karen> ...Harry Moseley, CIO of Zoom
16:37:37 <Karen> ...what was very interesting about his exciting keynote, which we plan to share on different channels
16:37:44 <Karen> ...and on the W3C web site
16:37:58 <Karen> ...talk was on the change of work
16:38:04 <Karen> ...new notions of virtual reality
16:38:11 <Karen> ...different ways of shaping the future of work
16:38:21 <Karen> ...there are many people working very hard in terms of web innovation
16:38:37 <Karen> ...without the web we would not have survived so well during this pandemic
16:38:47 <Karen> ...Also share that I have formed an advisory council for the chapter
16:39:00 <Karen> ...through this, I make sure we have a voice for diversity of inclusion
16:39:07 <Karen> ...we came up with an idea of reading poems
16:39:34 <Karen> ...during lockdown phase in NYC in July and August
16:39:38 <Karen> ...we read poems
16:39:56 <Karen> ...and I expressed idea of how Anne Franck would have felt if she had been able to express herself on the web
16:40:07 <Karen> ...the ideas of web innovation can move us forward
16:40:18 <Karen> ...the Web Innovation week and launch of NY Metro chapter is a timely event
16:40:28 <Karen> ...to capture that moment when we are thinking about the future of work
16:40:46 <Karen> ...not really celebrating, in midst of pandemic, but I feel that it gave us a sense of being lucky
16:40:57 <Karen> ...with W3C to set standards, have a sound pathway for innovation
16:41:00 <Karen> ...that was the feeling
16:41:13 <Karen> ...not so much a big celebration with fireworks, but in terms of our sentiment
16:41:18 <Karen> ...and how we want to encourage this community
16:41:29 <Karen> ...so that is the context for how we set up the W3C Chapter in NYC
16:41:46 <Karen> ...again, the next Web Innovation week will be 16-22 November
16:41:53 <Karen> ...and the cadence is spring-summer-fall
16:42:10 <Karen> ...we are confirming the speakers now, and doing promotion via email and social media campaigns
16:42:19 <Karen> ...I want to remind everyone of the Web Innovation week
16:42:24 <Karen> ...please look out for this and sign up
16:42:36 <Karen> ...going back into what we thought about strategic activities and roadmap
16:42:42 <Karen> ...Are there any questions now?
16:42:52 <Karen> ...please ask
16:43:00 <Karen> ...there is also, so back to what we do as a chapter
16:43:25 <Karen> ...What we do is to create a point of presence within NY metro community; build community and attract new members
