Tech Events by The Lunar Society, Birmingham

with Colin Fyfe (Chief Executive, Unity Trust Bank plc)

The Lunar Society's annual Sir Adrian Cadbury Lecture, held in the Susan Cadbury Lecture Theatre at Conference Aston. Colin Fyfe, chief executive of Unity Trust Bank, speaks on the role of responsible business in a rapidly changing world. Free to attend, 18:00 start, at Aston University's conference centre on Aston Street. A responsible-business and corporate-governance lecture rather than a tech or startup room, so it sits on its venue and organiser pages rather than the Birmingham city page.

The Lunar Society's end-of-year dinner at the Cosy Club on Bennetts Hill, 19:00 to 23:00. An evening of food and company for members and guests of the Birmingham science and innovation society. Tickets from £53.80, rising to £60.29. No speaker or programme is published. A festive social rather than a tech room, so it is listed on its venue and organiser pages only.
