EVENT IS SOLD OUT BUT WE'RE INVESTIGATING MORE SPACES

We're back after many months coordinating an event at London's iconic Battersea Power Station.

We'll be hosting some talks sharing stories of experiments and real-world delivery of progressive interactions and services that blend the physical world and digital interactions.

Featuring physical-digital making legends [George Cave](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gcave/), [Orlando Matthias](https://www.linkedin.com/in/orlandomathias/), and some rich discourse as always.

**Robots, drones and the NHS**
This time last year, routine NHS drone delivery felt like science fiction. 5000 blood sample deliveries later and it's now a fact of life - for clinicians, hospital staff and thousands of patients in London.

[George](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gcave/) is the VP Robotics & Design at [Apian](https://www.apian.aero/), a groundbreaking healthcare startup currently scaling autonomous delivery in the sky and hospitals across the city. George will take us behind the scenes with what it took to bring drone delivery to the heart of London, plus share a work-in-progress peek at his work with robotic quadrupeds and humanoids.

**Orlando Matthias**
Orlando is a seasoned Design Leader, who after the acquisition of his Award winning product Innovation Agency (AllofUs), has been working independently across the AR / MR space.

Orlando is fostering a 'physical first' approach to AR and will be sharing his latest 'Snap Spectacles' prototypes that demonstrate Integrating Artificial Intelligence and Spatial Data into everyday objects.

*More details to follow soon, but expect to learn more about:*
NHS drone delivery, and robot dogs.

Limited tickets initially (we'll see how we do).
*NB, Tickets are refundable if you request at the end in line with [our policy](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1011q0yqUr8qN0SWZauZnf2hdHyJLE1kITWW9A0IH0U0/edit?usp=sharing). And you may need to bring some photo ID with you in order to enter the building.*
