Communicating Quantum: LinkedIn Live Q&A with Leading Voice Katia Moskvitch (BBC, Wired, IBM, WEF)
Join TFD for a LinkedIn Live Q&A on September 30th with one of the world’s leading quantum communicators, Katia Moskvitch, to discuss how companies can translate complex technical propositions into compelling stories.
Not only is Katia a theoretical physicist, science communicator and former BBC, Economist, and WIRED journalist with 20+ years of experience turning complex technologies into compelling stories - she served as the European Head of Communications for IBM Research, and spearheaded the World Economic Forum’s Quantum Technologies initiative, giving her a unique perspective on quantum storytelling.
At a time when media and market interest in quantum is surging, we’ll be discussing how quantum companies can cut through the complexity and make quantum accessible without diluting its scientific integrity.
The session, which will be hosted by TFD’s Founder & CEO, Stephanie Forrest, will take place on the TFD LinkedIn page on September 30th, 14.00-14.45 BST / 9.00-9.45 ET.
If you can’t make it on the day, don’t worry! The recording will be available on demand after the event.

We’ll also be opening the floor to the audience during the live session, and welcome everyone to get involved by submitting their questions.
