Announcing TMRW
Today we announce TMRW, a new global tech conference in Manchester. Block out the 20th May in your diary: it’s going to be awesome.
After a year of bothering people, I’m delighted this is finally a reality thanks to my phenomenal partners, Don’t Panic Events and IP EXPO Manchester. Today we announce the first members of the speaker roster, headlined by Samy Kamkar and Professor Brian Cox. Not a bad way to start and there’s more to come.
In fact this is just the beginning.

Are you ready for TMRW?
Professor Brian Cox to headline new Manchester tech conference
Manchester, March 3, 2015 — Professor Brian Cox will be the keynote speaker at TMRW, a new global tech conference in Manchester. Taking place alongside IP Expo Manchester on May 20, TMRW brings together start-ups, enterprises, and digital creatives to debate the key issues of our technology-driven future.
The event at Manchester Central will open with a talk from renowned hacker and entrepreneur Samy Kamkar. Originally notorious for creating the fastest-spreading virus of all time across MySpace, Samy also discovered major privacy flaws in iOS and Android devices, and most recently has demonstrated major security weaknesses in flying drones.
TMRW will be packed with lively debate on new developments in physical and digital technologies, and how they affect business and society, before Professor Brian Cox closes the main programme. Topics include augmented humans, smart cities, and personal privacy in a digital age. In the Live Lounge, these themes are brought to life with interactive demonstrations and activities where attendees can sample the latest technologies and learn how to apply them in their organisations.
“Manchester is a tech powerhouse, with a vibrant start-up scene, forward-thinking enterprises and one of the world’s largest communities of digital creatives. It is the ideal location for TMRW, where we will address the practical and commercial realities of a technology-driven future,” said Tom Cheesewright, founder of TMRW. “By bringing together the creators and consumers of tomorrow’s technologies, and feeding them with insight and inspiration, we aim to catalyse wholly new innovations, schemes and opportunities.”
