Contact, Manchester England
At the heart of the festival is the FutureEverything Conference, is a
destination for a world-wide community of inspirational people, an
engaging, entertaining and essential event to attend. Join us to hear
about why governments should open up the data that they hold, and what we
can do with this information to change our lives. Listen to leading
artists and scientists discuss what we can dream and do with unlimited
bandwidth. We will illuminate the science of the web, the ways the
networked city is being rewired, how poetry can be encoded into DNA, ways
we can play the city like an instrument, and how relationships between
generations are going to change over the next hundred years. Featured
speakers include Professor Keri Facer, Dame Wendy Hall, Ben Cerveny, Nigel
Shadbolt, Darren Wershler and many more.
