One of the highlights of last year’s ShesConnected.Conference was the chance to interact with Ford.
And I have to say, they sure know how to show a blogger a good time. From the fascinating keynote speech delivered by a Ford Futurist, to the chance to sit back and enjoy the ride while a Ford car parked itself, there were plenty of fun and interesting moments to be had.
Not only did we get the chance to interact in small groups with Ford specialists as they explained some of the amazing tech behind their vehicles. We also got to touch Ford vehicles, climb inside and check out the interiors, and even take a passenger seat for a hands free parking demonstration. (One of my favourite parts by far… a car that park’s itself? Amazing!)
There was also a driving video game, but I didn’t play with it as at that time I still didn’t know how to drive and didn’t want to make a fool of myself.
They also had car-aoke! They turned a car into a giant karaoke machine. You had to climb inside the car, sit in the cozy driver’s seat (or the passenger seat for a duet) and sing along. There was tons of giggling, dancing and singing going on.
Not to mention the chance to meet their PR guy @ammar_ammar in person. I was awed by the fact that he took the time to meet and chat with each and every attendee.
And all of this was just one facet of the conference. I am eagerly looking forward to the chance to interact with them again this year (in a mere four days!!). I don’t know what Ford and ShesConnected has in store for us this time, but I do know it is going to rock. See you there?
