The Everything Blueprint: the story of Cambridge's biggest tech success

It's an essential facet in smartphones, laptops, cars, data centres and industrial sensors, but how did Arm's technology come to power devices used by 70% of the global population? Some 33 years after its foundation in Cambridge, the company is readying a blockbuster Nasdaq IPO and eyeing new growth markets.

This event will detail the secrets of Arm's success - from its long relationship with Apple, to powering the breakthrough Nokia handset and Amazon's current leadership in cloud computing. There are also challenges ahead: in China, and from royalty-free competition.

Former Sunday Times and London Evening Standard journalist James Ashton tells the story in his new book "The Everything Blueprint: The Microchip Design that Changed the World". He will be joined at this event by Jamie Urquhart, one of Arm's co-founders and the company's former sales chief and chief operating officer.

With an introduction and Q&A led by the Cambridge Independent's Mike Scialom.
