In our tech-driven age, code isn’t just a part of our lives—it’s the heartbeat of our digital existence. From simplifying our daily tasks to opening doors to new innovations, it powers everything we do. Yet, with recent high-profile breaches the stakes have never been higher.

How can we harness the potential of code while safeguarding against its pitfalls?

We invite you to join us as we deep dive into the world of digital infrastructure and unravel the dual-edged sword of our digital reliance—celebrating the possibilities while tackling the complexities and risks that come with them.

Our expert panel, spearheaded by Dr. Sebastian Sequoiah-Grayson, will lead a thought-provoking discussion on:

  • Cybersecurity Essentials: How to protect and fortify our digital realm.

  • Crafting Superior Code: The art and science behind reliable and efficient programming.

  • The Broader Impact: Exploring the economic, social, and legal impacts of digital infrastructure.

Panelists:

  • Dr. Sebastian Sequoiah-Grayson (Host), Senior Lecturer in Computer Science & Engineering

  • Sushmita Ruj, Senior Lecturer in Computer Science & Engineering

  • Ian Yip, Founder and CEO of Avertro

  • Lyria Bennett Moses, Head of the School of Law, Society & Criminology

  • Hammond Pearce, Lecturer in Computer Science & Engineering

Following the panel we will host drinks and canapes, giving attendees the opportunity to network and discuss the boundless opportunities that digital technology offers for innovation and growth.

  • Registration: opens at 5:30pm

  • Panel discussion: 6pm - 7pm

  • Networking with drinks and Canapés: 7pm - 9pm
