2025 Randox Studio timetable

Nestled within the FOS Future Lab pavilion, the Randox Studio is a sleek, purpose-built arena designed for sparking big ideas. With room for 45 eager listeners, this compact yet dynamic space brings together visionaries, engineers and trailblazers for conversations that bridge industries and inspire.

The tech talks are fast-paced, podcast-style sessions that pack a punch. Each 30-minute discussion brings together diverse voices from across industries, from rocket scientists to racing engineers, to tackle the big questions shaping our world. Perfect when you need a timeout from all of the action at the Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard.

Whether you’re a self-confessed tech geek or a newcomer full of curiosity, these talks are designed to spark your imagination. Running from Friday to Sunday, entry to the talks is on a first-come, first-served basis, and you can find the timetable for all three days here.
