Imagine creating the future we've only dared to dream of. A future that embraces sustainability, dynamic leadership, pioneering tech, and innovative thinking. Imagine creating a utopia.

Themed "New Utopias", we'll envision tomorrow's innovations, explore the constantly evolving dynamics between humans and our technologies, and examine the challenges of unchecked progress. We'll go beyond the role of today's tech in enhancing our personal and professional lives to see how emerging innovations are shaping our society in general. How is technological progress complementing our highest aspirations? Join the conversation. Together, let's envision, debate, and shape our new utopias.

“It is rare to be in a space that allows for so many convergent, and divergent, perspectives to collide and collaborate. Presenting at last year’s Ada Lovelace Festival we felt a great sense of belonging and that our ideas mattered - to the attendees, the fellow presenters, and the future of our shared planet. We can’t wait to return and experience that feeling at ALF again!”
