30 years! Time just flies when you're having fun! This is a restream of the two events in Geneva and London yesterday, with some fixing of sync and levels. London featured a surprise appearance by the city's Mayor. And even royalty have shown interest <https://twitter.com/RoyalFamily/status/1103633095213936640> in Sir Tim's NeXT. [image: livestream] <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/web30>In 1989 the world’s largest physics laboratory, *CERN <https://home.cern/>*, was a hive of ideas and information stored on multiple incompatible computers. *Sir Tim Berners-Lee* envisioned a unifying structure for linking information across different computers, and wrote a proposal in March 1989 called "*Information Management: A Proposal <http://info.cern.ch/Proposal.html>*". By 1991 this vision of universal connectivity had become the World Wide Web. To celebrate 30 years since Sir Tim Berners-Lee's proposal and to kick-start a series of celebrations worldwide, CERN hosted a *30th Anniversary event <https://web30.web.cern.ch/>* in the morning of 12 March 2019 in partnership with the *World Wide Web Consortium <https://www.w3.org/>* (W3C) and with the *World Wide Web Foundation <https://webfoundation.org/>*. Later in the day the *Science Museum <https://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/>* in London, the home of *the original NeXT Computer <http://bit.ly/2DZeF8O> *used by Sir Tim to design the World Wide Web, ran a *second event <https://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/see-and-do/webs-30th-birthday-sir-tim-berners-lee>*, also in partnership with the World Wide Web Foundation. Sir Tim spoke at both events, and both will be restreamed in full today* Wednesday 13 March* on the *Internet Society Livestream Channel <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/>*, starting at *09:00 EDT* (13:00 UTC). *VIEW ON LIVESTREAM*: https://livestream.com/internetsociety/web30 (No captions) CERN GENEVA *Welcome and Introduction* - Welcome by *Anna Cook* - master of ceremonies - Opening talk by *Fabiola Gianotti* - CERN Director General *Let’s Share What We Know* - panel discussion - Chair: *Frédéric Donck* - Speakers: *Tim Berners-Lee*, *Robert Cailliau*, *Jean-François Groff*, *Lou Montulli*, *Zeynep Tufekci* *For Everyone *- conversation - Sir *Tim Berners-Lee* and *Bruno Giussani* *Towards the Future* - panel discussion - Chair:* Bruno Giussani* - Speakers: *Doreen Bogdan-Martin*, *Jovan Kurbalija*, *Monique Morrow*, *Zeynep Tufekci* *Closing Remarks* - *Charlotte Warakaulle* - CERN Director for International Relations *PHOTOS*: https://cds.cern.ch/record/2665683 SCIENCE MUSEUM LONDON - *Imogen Heap* — Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter and producer. - *Matt Brittin* — President, EMEA Business & Operations at Google - *Roya Mahboob* — The NewNow Leader, Tech Entrepreneur & Women’s Rights Activist - *Taylor Wilson* — The NewNow Leader, Nuclear Physicist, Science Advocate & Inventor - *Dr. Anne-Marie Imafido*n MBE — Technology thought leader and founder and CEO of STEMettes - *Sadiq Khan*, Mayor of London - *Sir Tim Berners-Lee* in conversation with BBC journalist *Samira Ahmed* *TWITTER*: #web30 https://bit.ly/web30tweets *Permalink* https://isoc.live/10969/ - -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Joly MacFie 218 565 9365 Skype:punkcast -------------------------------------------------------------- -
