The LG NOVA Innovation Festival is a unique experience that brings together startups, investors, corporate executives, and members of the innovation community to explore new ideas, discuss and collaborate on building innovative solutions for a better life.

Attendees will have the opportunity to actively participate in sessions, share their ideas and thinking, and directly connect with other event participants, industry experts, investors, and corporate and LG executives. We’re focused on “Growth through Innovation” and enabling everyone in the innovation community to take the next steps toward achieving the vision of a better, more sustainable future.

Learning and development tools and technologies are constantly changing but one constant is that DevLearn Conference & Expo is the place to explore what’s new and next in the world of learning.

Join us in Las Vegas, NV on October 25 – 27, 2023 to shape your future at DevLearn, North America’s largest learning technology event.

At DevLearn you’ll find passionate, like-minded professionals who are leading their organizations’ use of learning technologies. The comprehensive program includes tools, technologies, ideas, strategies, and best practices to ensure your success. Whether you’re new to the field or a seasoned expert, DevLearn is the place to engage with your professional community and explore how technology can support learning and development. Join your community in the conversation that is shaping the future of organizational learning and performance.

How should institutions invest in human and technology capabilities and co-evolve to create growth and value? How might public and private enterprises best collaborate – or compete – around emerging technologies, such as AI, synthetic biology, and energy, to drive prosperity, health, education, and beyond?

We invite you to join us at the 2023 MIT London Symposium, hosted by BT, to explore technology through three complementary perspectives: Economic Value, Social Values, and the Future of Platforms. Speakers and presenters will advance the conversation around several increasingly important questions and provide actionable insights to all participants, comprising of senior leaders, including MIT ILP corporate members, partners, and BT clients and stakeholders.

In the Startup Lightning Talks, starting at 12:15pm, our CEO and Founder, Ali Merchant, will present on iQ3Connect’s Immersive 3D Learning & Collaboration Platform. The presentation will focus on how iQ3Connect is accelerating the world’s ability to share, learn and collaborate by overcoming the critical roadblocks to virtualizing industrial training: the time/cost expense of creating virtual experiences and the difficulty of end-user access and global deployment.

The Second Energy Upheaval

We are in a second energy upheaval! The first occurred when the maritime sector changed, simultaneously, from sail to steam and wood to iron. The London market in the form of Lloyds responded to this. Today, we aim to achieve ‘Net Zero’ with a very different set of technologies, yet insurance and investment market-needs and human nature remain very much the same. There is no less need for thorough understanding of endeavor in order to classify and therefore price the patterns of risk, but, today, operation is far removed from the commercial instruments that makes it possible, and few in the insurance, indemnifying and investment markets have practical, in-depth knowledge of the people involved and their practices. How to tackle this?

A Collaborative, Digital Response

The D’Arcy Thompson Simulator Centre as a provider of sustainability assurance, the London City Branch of the SUT as a learned society, Beazley as underwriters, the Waves Group as warranty surveyors working in maritime and oil and gas, and iQ3Connect, provider of a web-based, immersive collaboration platform, are holding an event at Lloyds Lab to explore how A CANVAS (Abstraction, Calculation, Analysis, modelliNg, Visualization, Animation and Simulation) can help ensure that test design is complete, and residual risk adequately identified.

Focus of Practical Workshop

Two, short presentations covering electricity generation scenarios and ESG will be followed by a hands-on exercise using collaborative VR, followed by examples of where Visualization and Simulation have informed academic research, operations and spatial planning.

Who should attend?

Underwriters, P&I Clubs, Sustainable, Responsible Impact+ Investors+, Brokers, Lawyers, Technology Providers, Operators and Owners. Members of the Society for Underwater Technology (SUT) and Members and Associates of the International Salvage Union (ISU)

Please note: Pre-registration is required. Please bring photo ID for entry to the Lloyds of London building. Entry will not be granted without both.

The past two and a half years have witnessed the rapid gathering of unexpected and unprecedented global forces—a worldwide pandemic, energy scarcity, climate change, sustainability issues, and geopolitical tensions are coalescing like weather fronts into a driving storm that is radically changing the world. With net zero, resilience, and technology the basis for growth and well-being, how are we writing a new narrative for reshaping the world to be a better one?

We invite you to join us at the 2023 MIT Europe Conference, one of the most forward-thinking business events in Europe, where MIT faculty members will engage with decision-makers, entrepreneurs, executives, and startups in a conversation about the future.
