On our 1-year anniversary of the launch of Tech 2025 (January 11, 2017), we’re going back… waaay back. Charlie takes us back to the very first Tech 2025 event (Battle of the Chatbots & Conversational Interfaces in 2017) with special guest Alec Lazarescu (writer at Chatbots Magazine, and founder of Bots and AI meetup in NYC with over 1,600 members). As a part of our efforts to highlight communities on emerging technologies around the world, Charlie talks to Alec about his growing chatbot community.
