Technology You Can’t Live Without

This event is for people who have always wanted to get the inside track on the future of technology, but haven't known where to start. Think of it as a digital download: 10 technology luminaries - a games designer, a web developer, a critic, a pundit, an academic, an artist, a cynic and a curmudgeon - will deliver fast-fire presentations about what they each feel is the most important technological innovation of the past 12 months, and what's set to revolutionise our worlds in the next 5 years.

It's an evening of PechaKucha 20x20: 20 slides, with 20 seconds each per slide. After six minutes and forty-second of each, you’ll have a library of all you need to know about the current technology scene. Expect to come away with more information than you ever thought you needed to know!

This will be in the Pecha Kucha style
