A deep tech and culture day at The ICC, 09:00 to 16:00, responding to Birmingham Tech Week's Fast Forward theme through provocations, demos and critical discussion rather than vendor talks.
Lara Jeetley, a young researcher at the Alan Turing Institute and a TEDx speaker, opens with a keynote on what AI does to education and future careers. Four panels follow, each on a theme: Faster Brains on EdTech, Faster Defence on the overlap between gaming and defence, Faster Horse on innovation and place, and Faster Focus on designing for the attention economy. Creators, researchers, gamers and entrepreneurs make up the room. Free.
the programme takes creative technology and defence seriously as the same conversation, which almost no regional conference does. Best for researchers, games and creative technologists, and founders working at the edges.
