Synopsis
Join us for an evening of conversation and debate as we explore some of the biggest and most interesting stories in technology. From developments affecting our local communities to national policy and international events, we'll look beyond the headlines to consider what is happening, why it matters and what it could mean for the future.
This is an informal fireside chat rather than a traditional presentation. There will be plenty of opportunity to share your views, ask questions and hear different perspectives on the issues shaping our digital world. Whether you're working in technology, studying IT or simply interested in the stories behind the headlines, we'd be pleased to have you join the conversation.
