Register now for AIT's Forum on Histories of the Internet
Start the new year by joining AIT for a stimulating event on Histories of the Internet from 10 to 4 (plus drinks / networking) on 9 January in the City of London, or online. The Forum will discuss significant innovations over the past six decades with reflections on their relevance to emerging developments, seeking to learn from its history rather than simply celebrate success stories. Five panels of multi-disciplinary academics, practitioners and leaders from civil society, business, industry, and government will present and engage with a live audience in London, open through a hybrid form to online participation. Attend in person to build new academic networks in a developing field, and foster academic-industry interaction, or participate online with colleagues active in the area.
