Event overview
What technology wants, what people want, what the city wants, and why they're not the same...
CAST is delighted to announce the first “in-residence” public lecture from acclaimed author and futurist, Ben Hammersley. Ben is the CAST innovator in residence for the 2012/13 academic year.
