BlackBerry Live in Orlando Florida has been full of great news, great energy, and great people. We have has some great speakers take the stage. One of the biggest surprises for me which was some what expected was the fact that Alicia Keys was one of the speakers at the Keynote. I knew she would be there but I thought it was just going to be for the performance at BlackBerry Live. However, to see her speak at the BlackBerry Live keynote was a real treat. Alicia Keys made some great announcements such as the next generation of the Keep Moving Project would be launching in the fall, and that BlackBerry Scholars Program would kick off this next school, and was put in place to help young women all across the world get the education they need to succeed in the tech field. Alicia Keys is very committed to getting women involved in tech.
