Known for his fearless curiosity and ability to uncover the human stories behind complex systems, Louis will explore what happens when technology meets humanity, and why progress should be measured not only by performance, but by perspective.

On the Mainstage, Louis will be joined by Professor Hannah Fry for an opening fireside conversation.

Together, they will challenge assumptions about control, responsibility and trust in the digital age, asking some of the questions we often avoid and setting the agenda for Tech Show London 2026.
