I’m going to be speaking at FutureEverything in Manchester. I’m talking on the second day – the 1st of April – of the conference proper, as part of a panel on The New Shape of Things with Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino and Dan Williams.

My angle is going to be along the lines of “What We Mean When We Say Thing“. Like it or not, the phrase “Internet of Things” has a degree of traction – but I’d like to explore what a Thing can be, and especially think about Things going beyond White Goods With Ethernet Sockets. It’s a logical through-line from some recent work, and there’s a chance I might have a new short demonstration. (A chance.)

It’ll be good to present this in the context of the other panelists, and I think the whole session should be great.

It looks like a great line-up for the whole event, and if you’re in Manchester at the end of March, do say hello.
