Curated by the award-winning WIRED editorial team, the agenda features eight high-level talks from a compelling speaker faculty, focusing on the impact of technology and innovation on the future of the world. Hear about how one design lab is turning landfills of unwanted clothing into high-fashion, and how a plastic surgeon has developed face-reading glasses that can track facial movement – and is being used to help patients with Parkinson’s.

Join us for a day of inspiration at the WIRED Pulse: Vienna event on May 15, 2020. The aim of this series is to take complex topics to the wider public in a format that will trigger conversations and help attendees engage with how technology is changing the way we live.
