Annual Lecture — From Smart Cities to IoT: Realising Opportunity in a Digital Future

In it’s 6th Year, our 2018 Annual Lecture travelled to Birmingham, and was built on a year dominated by AI and IoT to ask “how can we realise the opportunity offered to us by digital innovations coming online, and do we all have a role to play in making this a reality?”

This year, the Annual Lecture was given by Scot Gardner, Chief Executive, Cisco UK & Ireland. Having started out as a student at the University of Birmingham, Scot has since had over 25 years of experience in the Oil & Gas industry, consultancy and technology start-ups. Scot is now leading work to create smart cities, set up the world’s most connected train travel -HS2 and to bring 5G to rural communities.
