Scale Computing, a leader in edge computing and virtualization, has exciting news for tech enthusiasts and IT professionals alike: Chris Barton, the visionary founder of Shazam, will take the stage as the keynote speaker for the upcoming Platform//2025 event. This flagship summit is set to take place from May 13 to 15, 2025, at the luxurious Resorts World in Las Vegas.

In his keynote address titled "Bring Impossible Ideas to Life," Barton will share his insights on how imagination and creativity are driving technology's evolution today. He seeks to inspire attendees by discussing how innovative thinking can lead to real-world applications that address modern challenges. As the creator of Shazam, an app that transformed music discovery long before the rise of streaming services, Barton’s journey exemplifies the power of turning groundbreaking ideas into reality.

Barton first launched Shazam in 2000, three years before the debut of iTunes and eight years prior to the launch of the App Store. His pioneering work laid the foundation for the consumer AI industry, which today redefines how individuals interact with technology. In 2018, Apple acquired Shazam for a staggering $400 million, further cementing its status within the tech community as one of the most significant applications in music discovery, used by over 300 million people monthly.

In addition to his achievements with Shazam, Barton holds twelve patents and has contributed significantly to tech giants like Google and Dropbox. His newest venture, Guard, leverages AI advancements to enhance safety by detecting drowning incidents in swimming pools, showcasing his dedication to utilitarian technology.

Jeff Ready, CEO and co-founder of Scale Computing, expressed his enthusiasm for having Barton headline the summit. He believes that Barton's story will resonate deeply with attendees, many of whom are on the creative frontlines of technology’s next big breakthroughs.
