I'm biased (since I'm curating it) but I'm really excited by who we've got speaking at this year's Dots Conference. The final line up has been confirmed and it's ace. The theme is 'Transformation' and we'll be taking several different angles on that including learnings from those who are leading significant change in their organisations (the FT, BBC, Net-a-Porter), inspiring authors who've written about transformation, technologists speaking about how technology reframes our perceptions and our future, and people who've come up with transformational ideas and done something about it. So our line up is:
- Christina Scott, Chief Product and Information Office, the Financial Times
- Technologist and robotics expert Stuart Turner of Robots and Cake
- Adam Morgan, founder of EatBigFish and author
- Tess Macleod-Smith, VP Publishing & Media, Net A Porter
- Tom Hopkins, Product Innovation Director, Experian and Author ‘Unthinkable: The Culture and Politics of Getting Innovation Wrong’
- Winner of the Google Science Fair and teenage entrepreneur Ciara Judge
- Sam Conniff, of the brilliant Livity
- Steven Ramage who founded the fantastic What3Words
- Eva Appelbaum, Digital Business Transformation lead at the BBC, and Director of BBC Earth
- Antony Mayfield, CEO and Founder of Brilliant Noise
- And we'll also have a short panel on our theme chaired by Stephen Lepitak of The Drum, with Amanda Neylon, Head of Digital at Macmillan Cancer Support, and Martin Gill of Forrester
A trip to the seaside, an amazing venue, great lunch and great speakers. Quite probably the best conference you'll go to all year (but then I'm biased). Spaces are limited but I have some tickets available at a discounted rate of £150 for readers of this blog. Just go here, and use the code 'ODF'. See you there.
