Tech Events by TechUK

techUK hosts a screening of the People's Emergency Briefing, a 50-minute film contextualising the science of the climate and nature crisis, followed by a panel discussion led by members of techUK's Climate Council and a networking reception. Deliberately opened beyond techUK's usual sustainability network, it explores what climate and nature breakdown means for health, food systems, national security and the economy — and the role of digital technology in the transition. Free; places limited, open to techUK members and invited guests.

with Katie Freeman-Tayler (Policy & Research Director, Internet Matters) · Anna Lindroos Cermakova (Researcher, DOHE & European EdTech Alliance) · Andrew Mellor (Co-Founder & CEO, LOQT)

techUK and BESA convene policymakers, researchers, school leaders and EdTech suppliers on the collision between safeguarding, screen-time and digital-equity policy. Government is backing AI tutors for disadvantaged pupils while consulting on screen-time limits and publishing AI product standards — the two panels ask whether that pulls schools in one direction or several, and how schools and parents are actually responding. Speakers include Katie Freeman-Tayler (Policy & Research Director, Internet Matters), Dr Anna Lindroos Cermakova (DOHE & European EdTech Alliance) and Andrew Mellor (Co-Founder & CEO, LOQT). Free, at techUK's St Bride Street offices.
