'Human Creativity cannot flourish in a Tik Tok World'

The evening will start with a drinks reception in the beautiful Court Room, before taking seats at round tables in the Great Hall to hear the debate. At the conclusion of the Q&A, your table group will continue the discussion over a light buffet and refreshments. Each table will then declare their view at the end of the evening. Who will win? Can Human Creativity flourish in a world of increasing technological advances or will we soon become so reliant on computers that our creative juices will dry up?!

Come to Stationers’ Hall and let your voice be heard!
