If you want to hear some first hand tales about the evolution of the web over the past 30 years or take a deep dive into the strategies which have revolutionised the governments digital offerings, you’re in for a treat. Keep reading to find out who they are.

If you want to join them on the #FutureSync20 stage, our CfP is open until the 31st January. Submissions are welcome from seasoned speakers and first time talkers alike. If you want to discover how we manage the review process and get some top tips directly from the team, keep an eye on our social media profiles next week.

Jeremy Keith — Clearleft

Jeremy Keith lives in Brighton, England where he makes websites with the splendid design agency Clearleft. You may know him from such books as DOM Scripting, Bulletproof Ajax, HTML5 For Web Designers, Resilient Web Design, and, most recently, Going Offline.

He curated the dConstruct conference for a number of years as well as Brighton SF, and he organised the world’s first Science Hack Day. He also made the website Huffduffer to allow people to make podcasts of found sounds — it’s like Instapaper for audio files.

Hailing from Erin’s green shores, Jeremy maintains his link to Irish traditional music running the community site The Session. He also indulges a darker side of his bouzouki-playing in the band Salter Cane.

Jeremy spends most of his time goofing off on the internet, documenting his time-wasting on adactio.com, where he has been writing for over fifteen years.
