AGENDA

Panel A - Innovative Start-ups in the UK
This panel is composed of senior individuals from start-ups that are challenging traditional norms. The discussion will revolve around each individual business and the mental mind-set each entrepreneur had when challenging industry standards. It will also be highly informative for anyone thinking of launching a new idea, controversial or not.

Panel B - The Future of Manufacturing
The way we produce goods is changing rapidly as new methods and materials of production continued to be introduced across multiple industries. How will new technologies, such as 3D Printing, Machine-to-Machine Communication, and new materials, such as Graphene change the way we make things? The panellists will use their years of experience to explain what's now and what's to come.

Panel C - Advanced Healthcare
New devices, new information, the advent of new treatments and diseases. How has healthcare changed? What will it look like in the future and will our institutions be able to handle the change and adapt? The panellists will cover recent trends in healthcare and the impact of new products and treatments that put the power of your health in your hands.

Panel D - Intelligent Energy
From smart-grid technology to self-powered devices - the way we produce, store and consume energy is changing. Reflecting on this traditionally regulated industry, our panellists will explain how the rules of consumption and production are being entirely re-written with the advent of new technologies, power sources and trends around self-sufficiency.

Panel E - Big Data Analytics: Finding Patterns
Big Data is gaining momentum in the corporate world but still there is a lack of understanding for its potential applications and potential benefits in industry. What can we really derive from all the data around us? Is it actually valuable or does it simply tell us what we already know. Nearly every industry is now tampering with the idea of patterning the data they have in order to predict future trends. Our panellists will discuss this revolution and explain big data's role in our society going forward.

Panel F - Wearables and the Internet of Things (IoT)
Google Glass, Apple watch, fitness bracelets and the list goes on. We are now in an age where our devices are able to seamlessly connect and communicate - what does this mean in regards to our day-to-day routines? Will we become more efficient and connected, or will we overload ourselves with information? Panellists will discuss some of the latest wearable technologies, what they do and ultimately what a normal day in the life could look like in the near future.
