Informed, Not Overwhelmed: Restoring Confidence in Your News
Juju's Bar & Stage · Jujus Stage
We ve seen the state of news today. AI-generated slop, biased echo chambers, and feeds optimized for doom scrolling have left people feeling overwhelmed and disengaged. We ve lost confidence in our news content and in who or what to trust. Introducing SaySo a video-first news app with curated content from vetted creators, built for people who want to be informed, not overwhelmed. In this session, SaySo will be making its UK debut. Attendees will get an exclusive first-look at how the platform works, from its creator-led content model to the experience of a daily digest curated for you. Following a demo of the platform Huw Allen (@_getthegist) will sit-down with Cydney Adams developer of SaySo to discuss what it means to make content with credibility, in an era when confidence in media has never been lower.
20 Million Babies, One AI IVF Lab
Truman Brewery · Truman Stage 2
IVF began as a Nobel Prize-winning breakthrough. Today it remains stubbornly expensive and inconsistent limited by hundreds of manual lab steps that create variability between embryologists and restrict access worldwide. This session explores how re-engineering the IVF lab with automation, AI precision, and cell-therapy manufacturing principles can dramatically improve outcomes while reducing cost and variability. Drawing on real-world clinical data and pilot results, we ll show how fertility treatment can evolve from artisanal craft to modern medical infrastructure unlocking a future where building families is consistent, scalable, and accessible to everyone who needs it.
The Reinvention Window: Future Stories from the Age of AI

We ll discuss what it takes to move from excitement and pilots to reliable, scalable AI foundations.
The Factory Leaves Earth
Truman Brewery · Truman Stage 2
Manufacturing has always chased cheaper inputs. Textiles followed labor, aluminium followed electricity, and now advanced materials are following vacuum and microgravity into orbit. This conversation brings together the investors defining the space-industrial economy, the founders building its first factories, and the industry leaders whose products depend on materials that are fundamentally constrained by what s possible on Earth. We ll discuss what the orbital manufacturing value chain looks like today, where the investment thesis is headed, and how industries from energy to AI will be reshaped when their most critical materials are made off-planet.
Rebuilding the Global Data Centre Backbone
Truman Brewery · Truman Stage 1
As the AI revolution accelerates, a new bottleneck is emerging: the physical infrastructure behind the cloud can t scale fast enough. The cloud isn t abstract it s a rapidly expanding, energy-intensive physical system that must be built with unprecedented speed, precision, and adaptability.

Why the Next Evolution Begins with How We See
Truman Brewery · Truman Stage 2
The question is no longer how smart AI gets but how humans evolve alongside it. Roman Axelrod, founder of XPANCEO, leads a deep-tech company developing smart contact lenses that integrate XR projection, biosensing, and secure identity into an ultimate form factor for AI-powered XR computing. His thesis: the next stage of human evolution will be interface driven. This talk explores how perception itself may become the next operating layer for intelligence. Through a live helmet-linked demonstration, Roman will draw on visual project in real-time to reveal how the lens interface operates. Through applications spanning space missions, to industrial operations, to high-speed racing, he will uncover how a new era of interface-driven devices seeks to extend, rather than replace, human capabilities. If AI changes the world, interfaces change us. Join Roman to learn how the next evolution may begin with how we see.
