“This is a huge technology swing, right? This is like cloud was 15 years ago, but we're still at the very opening acts of edge computing and what it's going to do to the world, the impact it's going to have.” - Bill Pfeifer 

“It's fascinating the different points of view that you come across and the different perspectives. I know what my perspectives on edge are and they're changing all the time but it's a single perspective and everybody else has radically different perspectives on this.” - Bill Pfeifer

“One of my favorite definitions of the edge, and I agree there are lots of them, is where the digital world meets the physical world, and I think there's some truth to that.” - Matt Trifiro 

“My current fascination is artificial intelligence. And again, I'm coming at it from a perspective of sort of a naive user, right? It's like the tricorder. I see a future where every object in our lives, even the most mundane objects like coffee cups and sports coats might be connected to the internet or a network and might have either AI on board or be able to tap into AI that's delivered through a network.” - Matt Trifiro
