Next six speakers announced
With only 46 days until Future Sync comes to Plymouth University on the 16th April, we thought we should share a handful more speakers from our 2020 lineup.
By now, you’re possibly wondering who is going to be dispensing some wisdom from the conference stage as well as the topics they’re talking about. Wonder no more! Today’s additions are set to talk about:
- Building a point of sale system with Vue.js
- Humanitarian Design
- VR for improving heritage site accessibility
- Winning attention with human-centred content
- Protecting your organisation against cyber crime
- Adding value to clients through better communication
Keep on reading to meet the six speakers and to discover a little more about them.
In case you hadn’t noticed, we’ve published the vast majority of talks from previous years to our YouTube channel. If you’ve yet to subscribe, we’d really appreciate it if you could take a second to do so. The naming of a channel isn’t possible until we reach 100 subscribers. Much like Bon Jovi…… we’re halfway there! Well. Almost.
Tickets for this years conference are going quicker than anticipated. If you’ve already got yours, THANK YOU!
If not, get one before they all disappear. Currently, over 70% of tickets have been purchased.
