This year’s Tacitus day also includes an exciting talk at King’s College, London. Dr Nathan Myhrvold will address students, the academic and business community in An Audience with Dr Nathan Myhrvold: How Invention Can Spur Development.

The event is taking place at Bush House, King’s College London and a few places have now been opened up to a wider audience. To obtain a free ticket, please register here.

The lunchtime audience and main Tacitus Lecture are just part of what promises to be an exciting day for Dr Myhrvold. The day will start with a press conference attended by figures from the City and wider business and academic community before our Tacitus speaker is honoured with the Freedom of the City of London.
