OUR FIRST LEBNET OUTDOOR TECH EVENT, took place on Sept 19, 2015.
Mind blowing demos of the most futuristic technologies happening in the heart of Silicon Valley were
made by our members Sleiman Itani – Atheer Labs, and Cyrille Habis—Motion IQ.
The event took place in the Baylands Park, in Sunnyvale on a beautiful day.
A crowd of almost 70 people, including teen agers and curious brain children, and many LebNet
members’ guests from the Bay area as well as from Lebnon, attended the event.
Cyrille Habis, Founder of Motion IQ, a safety avionics and cloud services for drones company, former
Amazon engineer shared with us how drone technology is revolutionizing the market place.
Cyrille flew his own drone in the park, demonstrating all of its technological capabilities, to amazed
adults and children alike.
Sleiman dispelled some common myths about 3D Augmented Interactive Reality™ (AiR™) and
demonstrated their Smart glasses, combining immersive AR with gesture-based interaction and rich
peer collaboration for the mobile workforce.
Everyone got a chance to try out the technologies first hand and asked all sorts of questions to the
founders.
Here is a sample of a dialogue that took place between Sleiman Itani, and Karim Nasr, 7 years old:
-So Sleiman, what is the value of your company?
-It depends…why do you ask?
-I want to know how many shares I can buy?
-How much money do you have?
– Two Hundred dollars!
Cheers to our new generation of entrepreneurs!
The event was another great opportunity for mingling, networking and intergenerational sharing. Food
was excellent, as everyone pitched in.
Participants brainstormed out loud about their superpowers; here is the result, transcribed
anonymously on paper tablecloth:
-My superpower is:
–Sticking with Lebnet for more than 10 years,My Smile,Never give up, Finding a parking place in
Baylands park, Connectivity, Mind control…..

Last but not least, our guest speaker Nadim Zaazaa, Executive Director of UKLebTechHub, joined us from
