The Life Conference

June 25, 09:00 - 13:00, The Corn Exchange

The Life track at the FutureFest Conference will deliver crucial insight into core issues underpinning our future including an exploration of gerontology, the pursuit of perfection, personalised medicine, ownership of DNA and conquering disease.

Drawing on the knowledge, insight and opinions of globally recognised 'thought leaders' we will investigate and debate key drivers behind future waves of innovation and technology in this area as well as exploring cross over opportunities and pitfalls that may exist between the Life track and the Communication, Earth and Machine tracks.

The Conference will be staged in a format that enables highly focused presentations, interactive debates, demonstrations and discussions around the principle themes. The intellectual engagement, initiated on the conference floor will extend across the Festival through the Life Lectures, the Court of Bio Technology and a series of open events that will broaden the challenge to include an even wider audience.
