- On stage at Sphere, the next-generation entertainment medium that is redefining live experiences, Bastian took the audience through an immersive journey highlighting Delta’s vision for using technology to enrich human experiences. This marked the first CES keynote ever hosted at the groundbreaking venue.
“Technology is a powerful tool, but it’s people that make true innovation possible,” said Ed Bastian, Delta CEO. “We’re on the brink of a new era, and I can’t think of a better way to demonstrate how the Delta team will leverage cutting-edge advancements to propel our next century of flight.”
I stood in for Ed Bastian on this when he wasn't available. Then I stood in for Tom Brady when he was, it was cool. Thanks for having me, I had a blast.
HAPPY 100th YEAR DELTA! #keepclimbingtogether
I was like is that viola Davis??? I want her to narrate everything 🤣
I'm sorry to say this, but just about every aspect of that production was a waste of one of the most incredibly technologically rich concert venues on the planet. We viewed it as a complete waste of the Sphere. 90 percent of the production could have easily been a PPT in a board room or school auditorium. The jet views were fun, nice to have the seats vibrate, but the rest, I mean does anyone care that Tom Brady likes to hydrate? A guy near me said "Who's that guy?" Delta really need to find a new team if you plan to do this again. And please, please, please, watch and rewatch Steve Jobs' keynotes to see how it's done.
Participants should learn something. You mentioned collecting great data. So what? Show us some of the discoveries, expected or unexpected from that data. You are with the largest gathering of geeks on the planet, let them show their results. You mentioned crop dusters, why not use the Sphere to demonstrate an old crop duster up close and personal. On top of that I saw an entire row of Chinese women in front of ours, covering their ears from the overly loud and distorted passages during the keynote. At least Lenny kept the audience from passing out in boredom, and the mix was better if also not using the immersive quality of the Sphere.
I get it that you want to show off such ridiculous and poorly thought out ideas like allowing gambling from Draft Kings on board. Jeez, just what we need, trapped with a drunk jerk who just lost a ton of money on a game for the next 5 hours. How much fun will that be! Want to place odds? All of us did like the guy who was bored and on his phone when your camera panned to him. That was sort of the highlight for us. I enjoyed seeing the Sphere, the free biscuits and Dodger's pizza slices, but next time, make it a keynote where we are engaged, excited, and learn something. Look at how the Nvidia keynote wowed people. CES keynotes are often (always?) terrible. Predictable and unimportant with the advent of instant streaming, and rarely are they really cool and memorable. You have the budget evidently. Maybe post your stats on lost and returned luggage?
Oh, if you are gonna invite an amazing actor, use them. Have them do a reading of a passage related to, I dunno, maybe flight? Silly pop ups by celebs are one of the ongoing failures of CES keynotes. Apple, when they invited Randy Newman, guess what? He played a song or two. Seems natural to me. John Mayer played, but also talked about the impact of Garage Band on musicians, especially young musicians. You mentioned the environment, and once again, zero follow through on what that meant. How have your efforts helped the earth? Lots of smart folks, techies, and journalists in the room. Finally, three free tickets, with what 17,000 people in attendance. Hey, live a little, maybe a dozen? Three, seriously? Heck, get rid of Brady, and give away 100 tickets, and you'd have lots of money left over, and maybe, lower your luggage fees, since the fuel emergency ended, what, twenty years ago?
Do better Delta. Please!
Loved being here last night experiencing this

Jeez, you must have been at a different keynote, Delta did none of that.
I love DELTA
Delta, you wanna make it better for us travelers? I need more drinks or snacks in flight. I'm in First Class, why am I in a single 4 hour flight only getting 1 drink? Why must I call the FAs instead of them roaming around?

Echo need to be fixed after production or right on sphere
Could you imagine living a life in which your primary ambition is to provide "the best customer experience"? Ugh! Can't wait for this age to be over. Let Caesar return and do away with these merchants!!
wait , why is it a bad thing to strive to provide the best customer experience ?
@@TeKeyaKrystal it's not a bad thing. But that's not what they are doing. They are using technology to cut staffing levels, still charge for luggage when that was approved under a emergency fuel shortage, etc.. They are not about improving the customer experience, they are about maximizing profits on the backs of the majority of their flyers, all the ones not in First and Business class. Want to improve the customer experience, you don't need tech, you need more legroom, wider seats. that would make a lot of customers happy. Oh, and Draft Kings on a flight? How does that help passengers or society.
LA is burning, and y'all are acting like we have until 2030, or a century in the future, while extolling air travel and AI when neither is sustainable. Completely tone deaf
