DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nWith the UK and most of the world locked down arou
 nd March 2020\, suddenly video conferencing was used by a much wider audie
 nce and seems here to stay. From Handforth Parish Council to a lawyer sayi
 ng\, “I’m not a cat\,” the world has since learned to embrace this t
 echnology at a before unprecedented scale. \n\n\nWe will look at the techn
 ology changes – networks\, processing power\, and software – over the 
 last 15 years that made this possible\, starting when the industry was lar
 gely confined to expensive meeting room solutions to today\, where video i
 s near-ubiquitous. And conclude with a look to the future: what can these 
 past experiences tell us about what might come next? \n\n\nSpeaker\n\nDr S
 am Jansen\, CTO at Avos Ltd \n\nSam first moved to the UK when interning f
 or Intel Research\, who used to have an office in the William Gates buildi
 ng. Since later moving on from networking research to industry\, Sam has o
 ver a decade of experience in video and business collaboration solutions: 
 implementing video codecs\, embedded video devices\, and cross-platform so
 ftware in this area. Since May 2022\, he has been heading up technology at
  the new Cambridge start-up\, Avos. \n\nPlease sign-up at the following li
