Turing Lecture

Turing Lecture

The Turing Lecture is an annual event, co-hosted by the BCS and IET, named in honour of the father of Computer Science, Alan Turing.

The first Turing Lecture was hosted in 1998, which was met with high levels of enthusiasm. Since the first Turing Lecture, which was a national event, a Manchester Turing Lecture has also been inaugurated. This event has been running since 2005.

Past speakers include industry heavyweights such as James Martin, a noted Computing pioneer and Grady Booch, chief scientist for IBM.
