Manchester Digital Aims To Stage UK's First Futurology Conference In ManchesterTo mark the 60th anniversary of the world's first computer, independent trade association Manchester Digital is proposing to stage a huge global technology conference to take place in Manchester next autumn. To be called Futurology: 2008 Manchester UK, the event will bring together high profile speakers from across the world to discuss the latest in futurology - what technology has in store for us in the future. The four-day event - to be held in annually in Manchester - is aimed at a wide range of industry sectors across the North West, the UK and the rest of the world. It will be first conference of it's kind in the UK. The conference is inspired by TED, a large futurology conference held annually in the United States which attracts global speakers like Bill Clinton, Al Gore and Bono. High demand for delegate places sees the event five times oversubscribed. Futurology: 2008 Manchester UK will be unlike a conventional conference, addressing issues in a unique way and offering an interactive experience for delegates. A fringe event will allow every delegate to suggest a topic for discussion during the conference and all delegates will have the opportunity to speak or make a presentation. Importantly, all blogs and records of the conference events and presentations will be made available for free on the internet. Manchester Digital is thought to be the largest self-funded independent digital and new media trade association in Europe, with 260 members. Mike Ryan, Company Secretary at Manchester Digital and founder of digital solutions business Idaho Technology said: "As the birth place of the modern computer it is natural that a conference about futurology should take place in Manchester. "We have already secured partners including M.I.T professors and expect the conference to be a huge boost to the region and the city's digital sector, raising Manchester's profile and global connections." Shaun Fensom, Chair of Manchester Digital said: "Technology is entering all aspects of our lives - in business and leisure - and the pace of technological change is getting faster. The Futurology conference gives us a chance to get the bigger picture - share insight across all areas of business and society and discuss how the future will affect us. We have scoured the globe for the best thinkers, speakers and innovators and will address a range of issues." The Futurology conference will also underline Manchester's position as a UK hub for the new media and digital industries. Colin Sinclair, Chief Executive at MIDAS, Manchester's Inward Investment Agency said: "Manchester has historically been a recognised centre for innovation and technology and has developed a thriving new media and digital industry. We believe that the future of this sector is critical for the city region and welcome the futurology conference, which will further enhance Manchester's reputation as a global hub for the digital sector." As an organisation run by its members, for its members Manchester Digital is interested in ideas, input and suggestions to ensure a stimulating event for everyone both in 2008 and beyond. More information will be released over the next few months through Manchester Digital and it's website www.manchesterdigital.com.
