Country:United Kingdom

The Turing Talk, previously known as the Turing Lecture, is an annual award lecture delivered by a noted speaker on the subject of Computer Science. Sponsored and co-hosted by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET)[1] and the British Computer Society, the talk has been delivered at different locations in the United Kingdom annually since 1999. Venues for the talk have included Savoy Place, the Royal Institution in London, Cardiff University, The University of Manchester, Belfast City Hall and the University of Glasgow.[2] [3] The main talk is preluded with an insightful speaker, who performs an opening act for the main event.

The talk is named in honour of Alan Turing and should not be confused with the Turing Award lecture organised by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).[4] Recent Turing talks are available as a live webcast and archived online.
