Topics, Sessions and Talks

How AI Actually Works
Matt Parker takes apart the mathematics behind large language models to show exactly why AI can feel startlingly human one moment and confidently wrong the next. Using his interactive chatbot, MattGPT, to demonstrate, Matt makes the mechanics of modern AI visible and tangible, regardless of how much the audience already knows. Whether the room contains developers or complete newcomers, attendees leave with a working understanding of what is actually happening inside the tools that are already reshaping how businesses operate.
Stand-Up Maths
Matt Parker wrote the book on numerical error: his number one best-seller Humble Pi catalogues the moments when maths went wrong at spectacular scale. In this talk he revisits the greatest mathematical near-misses in aviation, finance, and software, from unit conversion errors that brought down aircraft to faulty spreadsheets that cost organisations millions. The stories are funny, the lessons are serious, and audiences come away with a sharper instinct for spotting the kinds of numerical assumptions that quietly cause real damage.
Quantum And Comedy
Matt Parker once bought 10,000 dominoes to build the world's slowest computer and prove how binary computing works. In this talk, he uses that same instinct for hands-on clarity to walk audiences through classical computing before crossing into the stranger territory of quantum. Drawing on his background in mathematics and his years of science communication, Matt puts the arrival of large-scale quantum computing in honest context, separating genuine disruption from hype so organisations can think clearly about what it means for them.
Coding, Data, And Tech
Matt Parker draws on his background in mathematics and years of hands-on science communication to cut through the noise around coding, data, and the technologies reshaping modern organisations. Rather than treating these as separate disciplines, Matt shows how they connect, where they break down, and why a basic grasp of each changes the decisions people make at every level of a business. Audiences leave better equipped to ask the right questions, whether they write code themselves or simply work alongside those who do.
