One of the speakers is Redg Snodgrass, founder of Stained Glass, a wearable-technology incubator based in Silicon Valley, US, which recently launched the first ever app-directory specifically for users of Google Glass.
The co-organiser of LincUpLive, Glenn Le Santo, said: “The calibre of our speakers is outstanding every year, and 2013 is no different. We are thrilled to be able to bring to Lincoln a variety of experts that may not otherwise have been accessible by local businesses.
“By hosting speakers such as these we can ensure that businesses in Lincolnshire have access to expert insights on the best business practices and technologies that will give them the edge in the national and global marketplaces.”
Other speakers include Mark Middleborough, Director of Engineering at Siemens, and Wayne Gibbins, an Associate at Notion Capital.
Dr David Rae, Director of Enterprise and Innovation at the University of Lincoln, will be hosting breakout sessions on entrepreneurship.
The conference, sponsored by Lincolnshire County Council and the Lincolnshire Chamber of Commerce, is expected to attract around 200 delegates.
The areas covered will include HR, finance, marketing, engineering, technology and more.
The day will be split into speaker presentations, breakout sessions and networking, and those attending will be able to tailor their experiences to personal requirements by choosing which sessions to attend, dependent on their specific business interests.
“We want every delegate at our event to leave at the end of the day having learned something helpful and important that they can translate into their day-to-day business workings,” added Glenn Lesanto.

A senior lecturer recently celebrated the news that East Midlands Railway will increase its train capacity on what he felt was an “overcrowded” service between Lincoln and Leicester.
Amir Badiee lives in Loughborough and for the past seven years has been commuting to his job at the University of Lincoln, but over the last two years he believes the train service has got worse. When he complained back in March he said he didn’t receive any response, but he believes his recent concerns aired in The Lincolnite helped to prompt a positive outcome.
Schools and universities in Lincolnshire recognise the potential benefits, but also the concerns, over the use of artificial intelligence.
The results of the government’s first ever Call for Evidence on Artificial Intelligence in Education’ report were published on Tuesday, November 28. It was open for 10 weeks and closed on August 23 this year, with 567 responses received during that time. Most respondents were “broadly optimistic” about the use of GenAI in education.
