Morgan-Botti lecture

The Morgan-Botti lecture is an annual event in Wales which concentrates on innovation, technology and science. It is supported by Airbus Wales and is aimed at educating and informing as well as the promotion of Wales. It is named after Rhodri Morgan, who was the First Minister of Wales and Jean Botti, who was the Chief Technology Officer of Airbus Group. Attendees at the lecture generally include industrialists, entrepreneurs, government officials and senior academics.

The inaugural Lecture was given by Professor Lord Robert Winston in 2011.

The lectures are held at the National Museum Cardiff.

In 2016 the lecture was retitled the Endeavr 2016 Celebration Event and became the launch event of the Wales Festival of Innovation.[1]

The Lectures
gollark: I duckduckgoed myself, and I found a Twitter account of someone in the US with the same name who just retweets random political stuff, a consultant company of some sort named "[REDACTED] & Associates", a page for someone working at "ZDNet", a Wikipedia article and a LinkedIn page. Weird.
gollark: Could you put a thin layer of glass on top of plastic, or would that be a "problems of both, benefits of neither, exciting new problems too" kind of situation?
gollark: Actually, how come tempered glass is used instead of plastic, which would *not* randomly explode as far as I know? Strength?
gollark: Great, you've made me scared of shower doors, at least until I inevitably forget that.
gollark: The (lack of) graphics didn't help.
