WELCOME

WELCOME TO NEW SCIENTIST LIVE!

O

ur show, the UK’s newest and most ambitious festival of ideas and discovery, is designed to showcase the very best in science, technology and engineering – and to blow your mind. We’ve brought together speakers, experiences, demonstrations and exhibits to help you explore everything from the origins of the universe to the secrets of our own minds. You’ll find out how innovation improves lives, moulds society and drives the economy. And you’ll see the wonders that our planet has to offer – as you’ve never seen them before. On pages 10-17 of this guide, you’ll find our unrivalled programme of worldrenowned speakers and thought leaders. You’ll recognise some of them already – but do look out for subjects you’re interested in and try out some that are new to you, too. We’ve asked the thinkers and researchers closest to the cutting edge to tell us about their work. We promise you’ll be intrigued and inspired by what they have to tell you. Pages 19-27 highlight the parts of the show you’ll be able to watch, touch, taste and smell. We’ve built experiences you can try for yourself, from the highest of high tech to the most ancient of art-forms. There’s some good old-fashioned fun to be had (with a scientific

twist, of course) as well as challenges to give your brain a workout. Our exhibitors will explain the critical roles their own science and innovation plays in our lives. And there are a few surprises to discover, too. We’ve worked hard to ensure your day is packed with wonderment and insights: we hope you’ll find answers to some of the questions you’ve always wanted to ask, and to some you’ve never thought of. Thank you for taking the time to come to our event. On behalf of all at New Scientist, we hope you have a wonderful day.

“As a boy, I picked up an extra paper round in Petersfield to save for flying lessons. I managed to get my pilot’s licence before I could even drive a car. It’s freeing to get up in the air and see the world from that perspective. Even though I left the British military I still feel like I’m part of it as a civilian test pilot.

So good they named it twice, New York, New York, we can cover it twice in rice. It’s a strange notion but based on 1 byte of data equalling a single grain of rice, Landmark has enough location data that we could completely cover the area of Manhatten. Tw T ice! But what do we actually do with our data?

Landmark develop datasets such as Flood Risk, Contamination and Planning applications, Unexploded Ordnance and Points of Interest that cover risk modelling, environmental analysis, surveying tools and much more. We work with over 30 national data supp ppliers includingg Ordnance Surveyy, The Environment Aggencyy & British Geologgical Survey. We talk and listen to architects, surveyors, banks, solicitors and planners. So, wherever you’re involved in the property lifecycle, we’re here to help.
