Cyber Lates Christmas Party

Cyber Lates Christmas party: rebooting our relationship with the internet

Welcome to the Internet of You.

In 1969 two mainframe computers exchanged their first word and, LO and behold, we became parents of the World Wide Web.

There have been different visions for what the internet could enable, but we’re no longer just focusing on packets.

This is about power. Privacy. Perception.

And parallel personas.

When the internet is in our homes, connected to our bodies and used to make us pawns in global wars…

When our most personal information is the product…

Are we being too passive?

But before you hit delete all, let’s talk!

Our final Cyber Lates for 2023 will examine what we can do as coders, entrepreneurs and digital citizens to have a healthy relationship with the internet, safeguard our privacy and protect ourselves from online harms like disinformation.

Join the conversation and set your New Year’s resolution with the community to reboot how you behave online!

Our power panel features:

  • Ghislaine Boddington, an award-winning speaker, artist, curator and director who specialises in the future human, body responsive technologies and immersive experiences
  • Pete Trainor, a product designer, innovator, entrepreneur, best-selling author, mens health spokesperson, suicide prevention campaigner and one of the UK’s leading voices on ethical uses of technology
  • Ben Graville, co-founder of Visible: a startup that wants you to control how you’re seen online
