TEN YEARS ON, WHERE WILL BESSEMER BE?

Bessemer's future and Hard Tech are intertwined, how to ensure a good future for both. Travelling ten years into the future, how well has Bessemer arrived in 2036? Is it in good shape or better shape. DISCUSS • How well? Did the Phase 2 trajectory continue: Summits, Conferences, Showcases, Report Publishing, a Think-Tank activity, local branches.. • Why was it possible? Who we recruited; who we partnered with; how we were funded. • Who made it possible? Any specific examples of people or organisations, who we know now or could do in the future. ……………………………………………………………………. DINNER SPEAKER There will only be only one speaker at dinner to allow more time for discussion and for the self-intro session. The speaker will comment on how they see the Society, where it might go, and where it might be needed. This will be either a longstanding Bessemer member, or one of our VIP guests who has attended Bessemer dinners frequently. ……………………………………………………………………… SELF-INTRO SESSION The session will continue slightly longer than usual to allow more voices and input.
