From Alexa to Tesla, it is very evident that emerging technologies are capable of changing the status quo. Technology stands still for no one. The sparks of innovation continue to fly each day with emerging and disruptive technologies. This was the main message of our Conference "Emerging and Disruptive Technologies- At work and home" which took place in London on 5 December. One of the key takeaway from all the speakers was to accept and embrace the advancements of such technologies and promptly implement them to the enterprise and the home. Star speakers included Alan Brown, University of Exeter; Peter Waggett, IBM UK; Marian Nicholson, Fujitsu; Mike Brown, ISARA Corp; Humayun Sheikh, Fetch.ai; Enza Messina, University of Milano-Bicocca; Steve Wells, Fast Future Publishing Limited; Dan Hooper, Piccadilly; Mark Grundland, Functional Elegance - to name but a few. They were all knowledgeable and expert communicators, and the audience showed their appreciation by joining enthusiastically in the Q & A and panel sessions.
