Manchester Digital is planning to stage an ambitious global technology conference in Manchester in autumn 2008 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the world’s first computer.
Futurology: 2008 Manchester, is planned to be a four day event which, if successful, will be staged annually.
The organisers hope to bring together high profile speakers from across the world to discuss the latest in futurology ‘what technology has in store for us in the future’.
It is claimed the conference will be the first of its kind in the UK.
The plans draw their inspiration from TED, a large futurology conference held annually in the United States which attracts speakers including Bill Clinton, Al Gore and Bono.

“We have already secured partners including M.I.T professors and expect the conference to be a huge boost to the region and the city’s digital sector, raising Manchester’s profile and global connections.”
Manchester Digital claims to be the largest self funded independent digital and new media trade association in Europe with 260 members.
