See first-hand how computing, engineering and mathematics research at the University of Kent can benefit your business at the Kent Tech R&D Conference on Monday 20 and Tuesday 21 June 2022.
The conference will dive into three themes: Healthcare Technologies, Security and Environmental Sustainability. Alongside lectures and talks exploring these themes in detail, there will be opportunities to join interactive workshops, visit our exhibitor fair and engage in one-on-one conversation with our renowned academic experts and like-minded businesses. As part of the programme, you are also invited to join us for a walking tour of historic Canterbury and dinner at the unique Cathedral Lodge.
The confirmed speakers for the event are:
