Noel Cox and Rod Delamare, who have made huge contributions to the BCS in South Wales and pioneered the development of computing in a variety of companies and public bodies locally, will
reflect on some of the computing milestones of the last 50 years.
Professor John V. Tucker will speak about the local history of computing, and with Steve Williams, the launch of the Swansea University 'History of Computing' Collection.
This event provides an opportunity to learn aspects of the fascinating transformation of computing and the BCS over 50 years, and to meet old and new friends.
