June 24 - 25, 2009, The Judge Business School

We will stage two lectures in tandem with each of the themes. The Lectures will bring greater focus to discussions held on the main conference stage. Lectures could include:

Transforming transport         

Sustainable cities                   

Digital rights                             

Entering the ‘Game'                

Life Cover           

Free will versus genetic pre-determination

Swarm robotics

Open source hardware

Each Lecture will take place in the main lecture theatre and will be followed by refreshments and an opportunity to network. Lecturers will be recognised experts in their field and will also be delegates at the Conference thus enabling them to relate their delivery to the wider Festival.

Access to the Lectures will be available either as a Conference delegate or by special invitation only. You can let us know that you want to attend a Lecture by visiting the registration page on this website.

We are currently in the process of researching topics and the lecturers for this exciting project and you can expect this page to be updated in the near future.
