Domain specialists provide examples of a number of use cases and cover health care, telecoms, IoT, smart cities as well as government policy making. Subject experts/leaders will consider/debate what are the implications of these impending changes and evolutions. A special feature is an invited session on Quantum Computing and its impact on finance and cybersecurity. This promises to be a lively and entertaining event, with participation of around 80 technically minded, top level executives from various sectors, keen to find out where the emerging and disruptive technologies are leading us, and to put questions and viewpoints to the panels.

Aside from the technical challenges being addressed, the digital transformation they have inspired has driven a more fundamental management shift. To understand this, organizations are forced to shift perspective away from the specific technologies inherent in a digital world and towards the principles on which digitally- enabled organizations operate. This talk will discuss the challenges of digital transformation being experienced in industry today, describe some of the practical approaches being taken, and outline some of the key lessons that will shape your future. 09:45 How increased connectivity through IoT forces us to re-think how to do business in the future Christoph Burgdorfer, Asteria We're living in the area of connectivity. People and things are increasingly connected and "always-on". This has implications on how the very fabric of the world works in the future. We will look at how this new hyperconnected world will force us to shift our mindsets. 10:00 Coffee www.unicom.co.uk Programme (Day One) INVITED SESSION 10:30 Quantum Computing - Its Impact On Finance and Cybersecurity Chair - Professor Gautam Mitra, OptiRisk Systems A Quantum of Safety: Quantum Computing and the Reinvention of Security Mike Brown, ISARA Corp At an accelerating rate, astonishing research and staggering financial investment are being poured into the development of quantum computers. Modern security standards can protect against attacks using conventional computers, but quantum computers don’t operate in the same way. When quantum computing breaks the cryptography we currently rely on, will you be prepared? Neuromorphic Chips and Quantum Computers: New Computing Paradigms Peter Waggett, Director of Research, IBM UK The increasing role that artificial intelligence is playing in our daily lives at work and play is challenging the current Von Neumann computing architectures. Building systems that can learn and process sensory data requires new approaches. This talk will outline early work with neuromorphic chips and quantum computers to highlight their potential and why they are important signposts to the future. 11:30 Panel : Adoption of Quantum Computing in Multiple Industry Sectors Moderator: Gautam Mitra (OptiRisk Systems) Panelist: Mike Brown (ISARA Corp) Peter Waggett (IBM UK) 11:50 Panel: Women In Technology Moderator: Xiang Yu (Optirisk Systems) Panelists: Katharina Schwaiger (BlackRock) Marian Nicholson (Fujitsu) Linda Davidson (Jamie Oliver) Elisabetta Fersini ( University of Milano-Bicocca Italy) Position Statement: Women in FinTech Katharina Schwaiger (BlackRock) Position Statement: From Black Box to Glass Box - delivering success through diversity Marian Nicholson, Solution Owner/Lead Deal Architecture, Fujitsu The IT market is changing faster than ever, shifting to to trends in AI, machine learning and quantum computing .

  • Cherry a Comedy in Four Acts by Anton Chekhov Translated by Richard Nelson, Orchard Richard Pevear & Larissa Volokhonsky
    TheCherry A Comedy in Four Acts by Anton Chekhov Translated by Richard Nelson, Orchard Richard Pevear & Larissa Volokhonsky Directed by Susan E. Evans Feb. 27 - March 21 2020 Sponsored by The Law Offices of Richard E. Brown, APC, Diablo Foods, Steve & Tish Harwood, Michael Gilson & Cathy Blake, & Linda Drucker Artistic Director’s Notes Some playwrights humble you. Shakespeare, of course, Tennessee Williams, for sure. Chekhov is close to the top of the pile for me. And, for better or worse, there is certainly an aura around his plays. People who have never even seen one of his plays assume that they are full of people wandering around talking a great deal, and often in a British accent. Despite all those multisyllabic names, The Cherry Orchard’s themes are highly relatable: displacement, a new order replacing the old, the fallacy of privilege, the legacy of slavery, the inevitability of change. Chekhov tells us up front that his final play, hisLear , The Cherry Orchard, is a comedy. Stanislavsky didn’t agree, and there have been countless divergent opinions on that topic. From Day One, I have been telling my cast that the play is about “the human comedy,” that its brilliance is shown in the fact that Chekhov shows us life in all its colors, comedy and tragedy, farce and drama, the silly and sublime, all happening at once. My own words came back to me after one rehearsal where I posed an exercise that just didn’t quite work. I asked my actors to play the last Act of the play with one intention only, thinking that would help them discover the inner drive and rhythms.
