We remain thankful to the various speakers, since 2008, for some amazing presentations over the years and for flying/travelling at their expense — personifying giving!
Special shout-out to Microsoft South Central, Redmond, & Research!

Massimo Mascaro — was here as a FRIEND of HCCUG.org™ COMMUNITY and is NOT here in his official capacity, i.e., Technical Director of Applied AI at Google.
He has been in pivotal roles at various Tier-1's (e.g., Microsoft Research), and has an uncanny ability to straddle Research and Real-world. What matters to us more is that he is a polite no-bull straight-shooter and above all a genuine person!
PROOF: at no cost to us, he is here on a Saturday, sharing with us his family time!

Google PR for fast tacking the clearance of Massimo to speak and keeping it simple for us!
Microsoft Houston, for sponsoring our venue on a Saturday at no-cost to us
our volunteers, specifically Tin Le, John, and especially Scott Wierschem ... for being there always!
last but not the least, our Founding Patron (Hybrid Decisions Corp) without whom we would NOT be around.
*** Even with all our announcements and multiple notifications that only CONFIRMED registrants can attend ... and NO Walk-ins ... we still had to turn-away folks!
We did this to recognize the MANY folks who TRULY VALUE the amount of effort that so many of us (e.g., Speaker, Volunteers, Sponsors, etc.) put in to make events like this happen especially at NO-COST for our community/attendees ~and~ follow the instructions!
