EXPERT speakers will share their predictions for technology in 2019 at an event in January.

Royds Withy King is hosting its annual Year Ahead networking event at the National Trust HQ in Swindon.

The firm has invited two speakers, including Romy Jardine, chief scientific officer for London-based RDA 3D Modular, a company working to provide solutions to the housing crisis through automation, high-speed 3D printing and injection moulding.

Experts at the global cyber security company Forgenix on data privacy and protecting businesses from cyber attacks will also share their wisdom.

A spokesperson for the event said: "We're experiencing one of the most significant periods of change in the history of our planet.

"The way we live is affected by new technological advances, bringing with it both opportunities and risks. So what are we likely to see in 2019?"

The firm is offering one person the chance to win £2,000 worth of Ticketmaster vouchers. Entrants need to take a photo of themselves attending and post it on twitter with #RWKyearahead.
