The Tomorrow Fair

One of the UK’s leading cancer researchers is “extremely confident” about the ongoing treatment of the disease thanks to the role big data can play in improving the provision of future treatments and therapies. Head of Data Science at the ICR Dr Bissan Al-Lazikani spoke to the Tomorrow Fair for the latest in our podcast series. She said that while drug resistance was one of the greatest challenges for developing effective cancer treatments, leaps forward in research fuelled by the collection and collation of more data could be the key to overcoming this problem.

Society needs to understand how technology and innovation is going to “dramatically change every aspect of our lives” says the co-founder of the hotly anticipated Tomorrow Fair, the future event set to launch at the Saatchi Gallery in Autumn 2017. Kicking off a brand new podcast series in the run up to the four-day event on 27 September, Rachel Butterworth discusses how the next two to five years will bring huge changes around the way we live, work and play. Butterworth said: “It is incredible the changes that are happening. And people don’t know about them. That’s why our event is for the general public as well as trade. It is very exciting. And daunting. And there is no place to go at the moment where you can get a taste of everything the future might have to offer.” The Tomorrow Fair will bring together the people, ideas and innovations that are shaping our future. It will be preceded by a number of Tomorrow Talks throughout the year kicking off on 19 January when WIRED executive editor Greg Williams will lead a panel of experts at the iconic new Design Museum.
