How automation powered by AI will drastically change business structure and business processes - John Straw

LifeScan Scotland has more than 35 years continuously moved diabetes care forward through advancing technologies and developing products defined by simplicity, accuracy, and trust. From OneTouch® brand blood glucose meters, test strips, and lancets to integrated digital systems, therapeutics, and hospital point-of-care systems, LifeScan is committed to offering best-in-class products and technology-driven solutions.

John is a serial technology entrepreneur who has started and sold several businesses - including one to Microsoft. He is a leading speaker on disruptive innovation and technology and talks in a style which is easy to understand and awe-inspiring, making him a frequent public speaker and prolific author of iDisrupted book and blog.

The Data Lab acts as a catalyst, supporting the community to blaze new trails, solve big problems, and lead on the world stage.

We do not work in isolation to move data science forward in Scotland, but rather with our network of partners and the wider data science community. We help to make things happen with our community, not just for them, and we encourage collaboration as a driving force for innovation.

FutureScot is pleased to announce Digital Cities 2017 - a series of policy conferences taking place across Scotland this summer, coming to Inverness on June 15.

Aimed at policy, academic, technology and business leaders, six half-day events will take place in Dundee and Perth // Aberdeen // Glasgow // Stirling // Edinburgh // Inverness



Inverness

Featuring a range of prominent speakers, the objective of these events is to equip leaders with the tools they need to further unlock the potential of digital in their cities.

Supporting communities of digital talent in Scotland's major cities has been given added impetus following the recent publication of the Scottish Government's A Digital Strategy for Scotland.

Importantly, Digital Cities 2017 will provide useful local feedback following a nationwide health check on Scotland's digital cities carried out by Nesta - the innovation foundation.

The event's Digital Showcase also exposes local government and public sector agencies to solutions providers from industry - another strategic goal backed by government.

Our expert-led, intensive sessions, will be heavily focused on outcomes with a full and frank discussion about the strengths of Scotland's cities, and where added focus is needed on the path to digitalisation.

Key learnings from each event will be captured in the form of live audience polling and featured in a full report both on FutureScot.com and in The Times Scotland.

Thanks to our supporters, delegate rates are only £49 and as such places are very limited. So don't miss out - book now to secure your place.

Connect the Unconnected - Inverness

Getting online has never been more important.

Being able to access the internet can open up a whole world of opportunities. Many of us take it for granted that we can click on the web and shop cheaply, check out the latest job sites, discover key information for our studies or work, book a cut-price holiday or fill in an online government form.

However, for many Social Housing Tenants this isn’t an option.
Digital inclusion is a huge challenge - and one which our host organisations are determined to face head-on as part of our vision to make homes and lives better.

Our fourth “connecting the Unconnected” event will be held on the 26th April 2017 at the Mercure hotel, Inverness.

We have a full agenda of speakers presenting on issues which relate directly to Social Housing Tenants throughout Scotland.

A Full agenda and further details, including information on our speakers will be released soon.

Digital Champion Summit

Digital Champion Summit

Thanks to the support of #hellodigital, Highlands and Islands Enterprise and The Highland Council, Digital Highland invites you to attend our one day Digital Champion Summit.

Who should attend?

We would love to welcome you along to our event if:

You help people every day with online platforms as part of your job (in which case you already are a digital champion!) and would like to find out more.

You volunteer with a fantastic third sector organisation and know that digital skills would really help those you support - we’ll tell you more about becoming a digital champion!

You’re excited about the power of digital for greater good, and have basic internet skills you’d like to share with others. (in which case, again, we’d love you to become a digital champion)

We welcome folk from all sectors – public, private and third sector- as everyone has a part to play.

Tell us more!

This hands-on, informative day should leave you buzzing with ideas and help you make the most of the skills you already have. You’ll learn more about Digital Highland, a regional approach to helping folk with basic digital skills. Our partners from Highlands and Islands Enterprise, The Highland Council and SCVO will share why they believe the internet is for everyone.

At the event, you’ll hear from current digital champions about their role within organisations and how being a digital champion has opened up new skills and training for them.

There will be a skills workshop with RNIB, to help you understand the full benefits that going digital can have and how you can help and support other people make a real positive difference to their lives. We’ll also have including the opportunity to learn more about the Digital Champions Network, and the fantastic skills development platform provided by Digital Unite.

But most importantly, you can meet fellow volunteers and colleagues who all share an interest in digital and a passion for helping people.

You may even learn a wee bit more about Pokémon Go!
