Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
A rare opportunity to hear the legendary ‘oracle’ of Silicon Valley, Tim O’Reilly, who will deliver a major talk on his new book, WTF? What’s the Future and Why It’s Up To Us. O’Reilly was one of the first people to identify the importance of the World Wide Web, open source software, the Major movement and big data, and he coined the term Web 2.0.
To survive the next wave of digital technology, every industry and organisation will have to transform itself in multiple ways. O’Reilly will provide practical business advice on what the ‘next economy’ will mean for the world and every aspect of our lives – and what we can do to shape it.
