While Jobs and Gates are household names, tech lore has forgotten Adam Osborne, inventor of the portable computer. Watch the film to discover Osborne's remarkable journey and how it changed the computer world, then join us for a panel discussion and Q&A with the film's director Anand Kamalakar, Lee Felsenstein (Designer/ Engineer Osborne 1), Mike Healy (Managing Director, Osborne UK), and David Carlick (Head, Osborne Computer Company Advertising Agency). Parking is somewhat limited, so we encourage visitors to arrive early to ensure ample time for parking and event check-in.
