A haven for disruptive thinking and radical ideas, WIRED events are brain food for personal development on a wide range of topics, from science and business to pop-culture and politics, say the publishers. At WIRED 2012 attendees will have the opportunity to network with like-minded, intellectually curious and creative individuals, from entrepreneurs and investors to academics and designers. Stimulating as much debate off-stage as on, WIRED 2012 Together with Telefónica will set the agenda and provide a unique platform from which to engage with the future.
The two-day WIRED 2012 event will be held at The Brewery, in the heart of the City of London. There are a limited number of tickets available for WIRED 2012, at a price of £1193. (A 10% discount is available to “early-birds” until 31st July. There is also a discount available to WIRED subscribers.)
Speakers will be announced in the coming weeks. For further information, or for registration, go to www.wiredevent.co.uk. Follow @ #wired12.
Matthew Key, CEO Telefónica Digital, said “After the great event last year we are delighted to continue our partnership with WIRED. WIRED 2012 Together with Telefónica is the place to be for anyone who – like us – is fascinated by the ideas and innovations that are changing the world. It is also a great opportunity for Telefónica Digital and O2 to showcase our ground-breaking digital services.”
