Looking forward to NESTA Innovation Edge

On Tuesday I’m attending NESTA’s Innovation Edge conference in London. The programme looks great and it should be a packed day. I’m going to be blogging throughout the day on as many sessions as I go to as possible and you can follow the posts here.

I’m particularly looking forward to:

  • A conversation with the ‘Inventor of the Web’, Sir Tim Berners-Lee
  • Bob Geldof, Jonathan Freedland and Helen Alexander of the Economist debating innovation as either a saviour of the world or another neo-colonialist tool
  • A seminar on whether social networks are the new cities with Charles Leadbeater and Michael Birch from Bebo amongst others
  • A fringe event by Channel Four on creativity beyond television

Should be a great day.
