  • The place for insight on the importance of technology as a cultural driver

    Technology is fundamentally intertwined with the way we live. This is the only show which appreciates that.

    Presented with clarity and a lightness of touch, true expertise able to provide clear and meaningful analysis. The show rises far above the parroting of tech marketing hype common to other shows obsessed with business angles.

    Tech is part of culture and this show gets it!
