Chris Dancy

Chris Dancy has been engaging information systems for over 25 years, wearing as many hats as there are heads in the IT industry. As a Data Exhaust Cartographer, he utilizes over 300 sensors and systems to track, analyze, and optimize as many areas of his existence as he can think of. This quantification enables him to see the connections of otherwise invisible data, resulting in dramatic upgrades to his health, productivity, and quality of life.

He is the the creator of multiple global podcasts, ITSM Weekly, Mindful Cyborgs, Connected Culture and Oblique Strategies and is the founder of the world’s first global, follow-the-sun, 24-hour virtual conference, Tomorrow’s Future Today.

Chris’s name and avatar are synonymous with the future of work, edutainment, technically-enabled external evolution, and his quantified life (existence). He travels extensively and speaks on these topics and more, and has been featured in TechCrunch, Wired Magazine, Bloomberg TV, and NPR Radio as the “most connected human on Earth.”
