Most successful businesses, large or small, are built on well managed intangible assets like intellectual property (IP). Businesses create and use IP all the time, perhaps without realising it. Whether it is the name of your company, branded products, website or even marketing materials, the value of IP can far outweigh the value of your physical assets.This interactive session, facilitated by Gary Townley of the Intellectual Property Office, is designed to support small business owners, their marketing staff, business advisers, accountantsand a variety of professional bodies.
Norfolk County Council is excited to host a free Work and Health Event at The King’s Centre in Norwich on 2 February 2018 from 9.15am to 4pm (lunch included).

Fast-paced multiplayer: an introduction to client-side prediction and server reconciliation. Gabriel Gambetta
Creating multiplayer games is hard. One of the reasons is that networks are unreliable and laggy. In this talk we’ll discuss several techniques to give players a smooth experience even under suboptimal conditions.
Gabriel Gambetta
Gabriel was a senior software engineer at Improbable for a year because turning into its Head of Marketing for some reason. Before Improbable he had spent four years as a software engineer at Google, and nine years running Mystery Studio, a small indie dev studio, where he started researching networking techniques for multiplayer games after making yet another match-three stopped being challenging.
Transforming the Status Quo: Stories of British-based Robotics Start-ups Dominic Keen
Autonomous robots open up amazing possibilities for highly productive one-to-many modes of human-machine operation. Rather than needing to push your vacuum cleaner around the house, you’ll soon just get it started and tell it whether it has done a good job at the once it has cleaned up all the dust. These new types of autonomous machines will allow us to reclaim much lost time and will usher in new paradigm of hyper-performance that entirely transforms the status quo for both the users and creators of technology. Through telling the stories of the foremost British-based robotics start-ups, Dominic will demonstrate the breadth of robotic invention and the hope it gives us all for the future.
