Ray Kurzweil, Aubrey de Grey and Greg Dyke are among a line-up of speakers at this year's inaugural Thinking Digital conference in the North East.

Up to 400 of the sharpest minds in technology, digital marketing and mobile systems will flock from around the world to the event, which will take place at Sage Gateshead, NewcastleGateshead, from May 21-23.

Delegates are due to discuss the ideas and technologies that are set to fundamentally alter the way people live and work.

Ray Kurzweil is a futurist who predicts computer intelligence will surpass human intelligence in 2029, while Aubrey de Grey is a biogerentologist who says we can engineer a cure for the ageing process. Greg Dyke is the former director general of the BBC.

The first UK demos of Microsoft's much-anticipated Live Mesh - which synchronises data and connects multiple devices - will be shown by Sean Clayton, the software plus services head at Microsoft.

Other speakers expected at the event are Sean Phelan, the founder of Multimap, and Dan Lyons, the senior editor of Forbes magazine, who was outed last summer as the man behind The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs, a satirical blog about the CEO of Apple.
