A question that always seems to initiate a good discussion in the engineering community is what would make the ideal guest list for dinner. Obviously within an engineering and technology context…
However, I can announce that the IET will not be branching out into hosting exclusive dinners for engineers. BUT we do host a Prestige Lecture Series that showcases the latest ideas and technologies within the engineering world.
These lectures cover many engineering disciplines, ranging from general interest to the more technical.
An example was the Turing Lecture given by Robert Schukai who is Head of Applied Innovation for Thomson Reuters. His talk called ‘The Internet of Me: It’s all about my screens’ explored our future in a hyperconnected environment, and how our lives will seamlessly drift into a work-life blur based on a “dayflow” of activity.
You can view the talk for free here.
And below are some of the comments we received from delegates:
“A truly great presentation, extremely thought-provoking, one of the most interesting events I have attended in a long time.”
“A brilliant lecture series and this year’s lecture was no exception and well delivered.”
“As usual this event was positive and inspiring and also gives a wonderful opportunity to meet and network informally. Very well organised.”
“Best organised and executed lecture that I have ever attended”
For next year’s Prestige Lecture Series we would like to hear from the engineering community about which speakers and what topics you would like covered.
You can tell us using a short online form and we look forward to receiving your ideas.
