Overview

Mon-Tue (medical only)
The the first two days are exclusive to the medical and healthcare communities and only people from medical and healthcare organisations or with a medical background will be allowed to attend.

Wed (medical slant - open to all)
Keynote - James Taylor (Smart Enough Systems) "Smarter systems for uncertain times".

The third day will still maintain a medical slant, wrapping up the last two days, but we will open it up for those that want to observe or participate. We will try and cover topics that will be interesting to all there, even if not from medical background, just be aware that medical discussions take priority. It is recommended that most people start on the Wednesday, especially as we have an excellent keynote speaker for everyone.

Thu-Fri (general topics - open to all)
The last two days is open to all and will hvae no specific topic. It is likely we'll repeat a few talks from mon-tue that are relevant to new comers.
