Activate is organized by the Guardian Newspaper, Guardian News and Media, and the Activate platform is ‘the Guardian’s gathering place for leaders of a new global network focused on harnessing and employing technological and social innovation for human betterment.’ These events are held around the world, and always feature top speakers. This year’s London Activate includes the founders, CEOs, and directors of some leading companies. It is not an academic conference, but an opportunity to hear from leaders in the field of information and communication technologies. Hope you can join.
