What To Expect at Matter 2.4

An unmissable day of speakers, innovators, insights and more!

Our future tech shows are just around the corner. Kicking off on 18 April at UCL PEARL, followed by Keele University on 09 May and Swansea on 30 May. Here’s a taster of what to expect on the day.

Sina Kahen – International Speaker & Author

Sina will illustrate how technology is intrinsically linked to basic human desires and why this impacts future technologies such as AI and wearables.

Raphael Hirschi – Professor of Astrophysics

With the mountains of data at our disposal, Raphael sets out how to find ‘data diamonds in the rough’ when handling exponential amounts of information.

Darren Clayman – IDNS Managing Director

Today’s tech industry is full of buzzwords and acronyms, but what do they really mean? Darren decodes the jargon and explores the moral dilemmas of using AI in robotics.

Palle Dinesen – CEO & Co-Founder

Buildings generate over 40% of the world’s emissions – how do we change this? Palle brings his knowledge and expertise on IoT to shape buildings of the future.

Chris Rees – Head of Digital Creativity and Learning

Immersive experiences are more than just a VR headset. Chris delves into how immersive technologies are being used for collaboration and engagement.

Professor Nick Tyler – Director of the UCL Centre for Transport Studies

What do the cities of the future look like? The research Nick and his team are conducting at PEARL will help to create new urban area experiences.

Richard Morgan – The Head of Innovation & Engagement

As an advisor to the Welsh Government, Richard brings a fresh look into how connectivity is changing the landscape in design and engineering.

Tech Masterclasses

The core of Matter 2.4 will be delivered through Tech Masterclasses, which allow you to get up close and personal with futurists whose mission is to drive digital transformation. The format of Tech Masterclasses guarantees that you’ll spend time with all our future technology pioneers, and thanks to the unique way we set out the day, we ensure that each one is tailored to your organisation and job role.

Those delivering Masterclasses are experts in their field, sharing knowledge of future technologies and insight to prepare your organisation for what lies ahead.

Matter 2.4 is for anyone wanting to make a difference through technology, especially those involved in education, local government, healthcare, and the wider public sector.
