The physical and the virtual worlds are merging, and urban centres are undergoing unprecedented change. Healthcare assisted by robots; shopping lists crafted by AI and delivered by drones; 3D printed goods customised to fit like gloves; commute times that shrink to near-zero: technology is going to touch every aspect of future communities, and will fundamentally shape the way humans live, work and play. Centuries of urban planning is about to be upended because technology has changed the very logic of how cities physically organise themselves.

The future is decentralised, densely connected, and granularly customisable. Join us as we explore what it might look like, and take stock of all the different frontier technologies that will power it.

Did you know today’s Formula 1 car uses 250+ sensors to continuously monitor every aspect of the race while creating 300+ million data points that drive winning decisions in real-time? This is precisely why tech teams at Formula 1 are popularly known as the “fastest R&D labs on earth”. With the need for processing of over 400 GB of data for each car in real-time at the edge, Formula 1 teams are continuously at the apex of innovation leveraging modern technologies like edge computing to secure smarter wins.

Join Mark Webber, former Formula 1 race driver, a champion and a straight-talking Aussie who blitzed the tarmac on his Formula 1 debut and raced his way to many memorable podium finishes. At the chat show, Mark, will talk about how Formula1 technology enabled him to be a data-driven racer and his remarkable wins during 14 exciting years on the Formula 1 circuit. On the racetrack, Mark will be joined by Lenovo leader Sumir Bhatia, who will rev up through conversational chicanes and corners while shifting gears from Formula 1 racing to Enterprise IT.

Join us and find out how The Data-Centered leaders like you, can ride the technology slipstream and accelerate your enterprise towards smarter wins, just like how Formula 1 drivers steer their machines to overtake challenges by leveraging smarter technology.
