London Technology Club

What better time than January to discuss all things #Tech in #Sports! Especially with the DP World Tour Dubai Desert Classic golf in town and the UAE’s thriving sports events season in full swing.   We kick-started our Dubai 2025 events with a stimulating discussion on how the sports sector is increasingly intertwined with technology and innovation, creating new opportunities for investors - from dynamic branding on sports assets to identifying and directing sports talent pathways, health supplements for sports high performance, and AI analysing posture and sports technique.   A special thank you to our fantastic speakers: Mark Turner: Founder & CEO at Seamless Digital – cutting edge technology for digital advertising applied to mobile assets; Vadim Fedotov: Co-Founder and CEO of Bioniq – the world’s most personalised supplements, backed by science; Gurps Nijjar: Founder at Spanda and partner to Talentlockr Sports – making connecting players, teams, coaches and agents easy and accessible.

A fascinating evening with prominent historian and bestselling author of #Sapiens, Yuval Noah Harari – one of the world’s most influential public intellectuals today. His books have sold over 45 million copies in 65 languages.    We were delighted to offer our members front row seats to this quickly selling out event organised by #HowToAcademy.   In his latest thought-provoking book #Nexus – A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI - Harari explores the complex relationships between information and truth, bureaucracy and mythology, wisdom and power – and the consequences of the profound information revolution we are living through. He addresses the urgent choices we face today, as non-human intelligence may threaten our very existence. #AI #AIforgood #YuvalNoahHarari #Author #London #LTC #londontechnologyclub
