HPCC 42nd Anniversary Mini-Conference
Saturday 12th October 2024
Our 42nd Anniversary Mini-Conference was held in the Physics Common Room at Imperial College, London. Doors opened at 11:00, with talks starting around 12:00.
Slides, photos and videos of the three main talks are given in the timetable below. Unfortunately the session on the HP81 became an all-hands repair session, but we were unable to run the machine. Wlodek intends writing up the HP81 for a future edition of Datafile.
Details of earlier conferences, back to 1997, are available by following the links at the bottom of this page.
