At AT&T, Carolyn spearheaded the creation and execution of SHAPE, a conference for developers, creators, and influencers, dedicated to exploring the convergence of technology and entertainment.

In its fourth year, SHAPE grew to 20,000 registrations, the largest event held to date at the Warner Bros. Studio in Burbank, CA. Highlights for Carolyn include:

  • More than 200 tech-forward, interactive exhibits evangelizing the ways entertainment is being revolutionized through 5G, AI, Edge computing, volumetric video, virtual and augmented reality and full-body / facial motion capture

  • Influential speakers with fresh points of view on what’s next in tech and entertainment including Tyra Banks, Elizabeth Banks, Sean Combs, Geena Davis, Ava DuVernay, Issa Rae and dozens more

  • Killer competitions including the SHAPE Hackathons and AT&T Film Awards that support tens of thousands with millions of developers and creators to create the next frontier in entertainment

As someone who extensively covers both XR and 5G, I was amazed by this year’s AT&T Shape in LA.
