I have to say Tech Talks #3 was noticeably different to the first two. We were in a new venue (Armada House), we had a higher attendance (85 in total) and we had a speaker from the outside… (London). Thanks to SW Computer Services we now have the videos of the talks.
The first speaker was David May who is a British Computer Scientist, a professor at the University of Bristol and the founder of XMOS a semiconductor company. To date he holds 50 patents and his talk examined the progression of microchips and the influence that Bristol, and he himself has had on this development:
Next up was SpiderGroup’s founder James Cook, whose talk ‘The Missing Lync’ examined unified communications and the impact that this will have on the workplace:
Finally, our last speaker was Thomas Power, who created a great deal of hype during and after the event when he gave his opinion on Klout and the future of the web:
The tweets have been continuing ever since on #TechTalks and feedback has been very interesting. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the event although Thomas Powers talk was like Marmite, people either loved or hated it.
