How to Change the World, Royal Institution

How do you fix a broken heart? How will technology effect the workplaces of the future? How will driverless cars change our cities? These, and many more, are questions that will be posed at the How to: Academy’s second annual conference, an event aptly titled ‘How to Change the World.’

A flagship event in the organisation’s calendar, this is a chance to hear some of the world’s leading thinkers respond that ever-evasive question: just what will the future look like? From neurobiologists to designers to physicists, this is a serious meeting of minds, and is sure to give you more than enough food for thought over the festive period.

Hosted on December 1 at the Royal Institution, this is about as busy a programme of talks as you could hope to find. The keynote talk is to be delivered Professor Ian Goldin from the cross-disciplinary Oxford Martin School. The subject, appropriately, is the 'Future in Fifteen Years'. Tickets are on sale now.
