Each January we gather the community to imagine what the next twelve months of innovations are likely to be in data, AI and tech. This has proven to be one of our most popular events of the year, so sign up now to avoid missing out!  

The event is an opportunity to think big and dream about what the future may bring. From new innovations on the horizon, to how society might shift as we adapt to new norms. 

The past year has brought with it government commitments to widespread AI adoption, an embedding of generative AI across online services, an increased emphasis on the need for strong data foundations, and conversations around data centres and infrastructure increasingly making headlines.  

Looking ahead to the future gives us time to pause and reflect on how new technologies might impact our day-to-day lives. As we embrace emerging technologies, are we doing so responsibly, ethically and with the interests of people at heart? 

Join us for Data, AI & Tech Predictions 2026 where we’ll discuss all this and more as our expert panel share their thoughts on where we may be heading this year!  

Speakers:

  • Stephanie Earp - Head of AI, Space Intelligence

  • Nic Granger OBE - Chair, The Data Lab

  • Emily Sullivan - Co-director, Centre for Technomoral Futures
