New Statesman Emerging Technology Conference 2017 | Progressive Media Group | 13 November 2017 | IET London: Savoy Place, 2 Savoy Pl, London WC2R 0BL, UK

The New Statesman’s inaugural Emerging Technology Conference (NSET) will be held at the historic Institute of Engineering and Technology overlooking Victoria Embankment and the River Thames. We’ll be gathering hundreds of engineers, IT decision-makers and industry leaders that specialise across a number of key sectors to offer a holistic programme of debate and insight into the technologies of the future.

Over the day, attendees can expect to hear over 30 presenters share their expertise in the cutting edge of advanced tech, talking about the science and research behind new technologies, identifying emerging growth trends and future prospects, and shining a light on the ways that new technology is set to revolutionise our daily lives. The NSET will create an active environment in which delegates can expect to take part in debates, round tables, case studies and interviews, as well as gain first-hand experience of the latest in sophisticated hardware and software with interactive demonstrations by leading technology firms.
