Virtual Conference: Let's Get Physical

Let's Get Physical - Autumn 2020
Held on 12th - 16th October 2020: Five days of Physics goodness on:

- Optics
- Wireless
- PGR Spotlight day
- Quantum 
- Data Science & AI

The CONFERENCE

Please find a full overview of recordings here. 

A full week of Physics packed sessions with speakers and interactive forums.

During the conference we showcased the fundamental role that physics and physicist have in shaping our digital future. We hope to spur interest and to enable cross pollination between the different subject areas within Physics but across the board as well. And we will yet again highlight the value of collaboration between industry and academia.

Fraser Burton, who is the founder of the Tommy Flowers Network was back in his new role as a senior manager in Network Physics to welcome you and to set the scene for each day. Our wonderful compère Mike Williams then led through the daily program.

Please find speaker profiles, recordings and slides for download in the respective subject days:
