I've been asked to present “What's new in tech” to an accounting conference

I run a small software dev business while I finish my PhD in comp sci. My accountant asked if I'd be interested in doing the talk to his association annual conference.

I'm hoping to cover:

-recent fin-tech startup successes

-recent data-protection scandals and the results / best practices

-Local startup success stories

Anybody have any other suggestions? My area is computational evolution, not fin-tech so I'll be slightly out of my comfort zone.

Thanks!
