Behavioural Economics
The study of humans and their (occasionally irrational) interactions with the world
During this masterclass we will look at how Behavioral economics uses psychological experimentation to develop theories about human decision making and how its identified a range of biases as a result of the way people think and feel. The aim of this session is that you leave with a framework and the tools to understand, predict, and potentially influence irrational behaviours.
We will also cover: –

The masterclass will last around 2 hours with questions. Refreshments will be available.
What people have to say about previous events….
I cannot recommend Chadwick’s Masterclasses too highly nor say enough good things about them. Chadwick’s Masterclasses provide fresh insights and offer practical steps to build, maintain and retain value in businesses. Richard delivers clear and well-thought-out advice while challenging preconceptions. The workshops are thoroughly researched and never turn into sales presentations. I learn something every time I attend. Paul Palik | Senior Associate | Corporate Team | Birketts LLP Beginning to plan seriously for retirement and being a relative newbie in Norwich, it was refreshing to be introduced to a firm that places great emphasis on technical analysis and thoughtful planning. Too often, in my experience, IFA’s are more concerned with style over substance but Chadwicks, through their Masterclass sessions offer real insight into investment management and retirement planning. Whether as a professional adviser or, like myself, someone looking for genuine insight into the changing times of today, I would recommend the sessions wholeheartedly. Andrew Thorpe | Finance and Operations Director | Jarrold Norwich The masterclass at Chadwicks, for me is a fantastic way to boost my knowledge in an important field which I often feel the effects from, yet seldom get to learn about. A wonderful setting at the enterprise centre, amongst like-minded company. Andy Davies | Business Development | Green Duck I have been a regular attendee at Chadwick’s business seminars for several years and without fail I have found the sessions to be useful and practical on the one hand whilst thought provoking and inspiring on the other. Many advisers can put on topical seminars, few can make you feel that you want to go on to study the subject yourself! Dawn Parkes | Managing Partner | Hatch BrennerSearch Engine Optimisation is still a vital online marketing tactic for most companies and in this presentation, Mark Ellaway from Bigfork will take you through the essentials of SEO. If you’re new to online marketing or need an SEO refresh then you can’t afford to miss this talk.
You’ll also have the opportunity to network with other business people over tea and coffee.

Now digital technology is transforming how we design, make and use everything. What could it do for your business?
Many companies are already using these advanced manufacturing techniques. They are producing internet-connected, highly personalised, and incredibly intelligent goods. Welcome to The Future of Making Things where “Industry 4.0 combines cyber-physical systems, the Internet of Things and the Internet of Systems.”
This is an exciting time to be working in digital creativity and industrial design. We have a strong tech sector in Norwich (as featured in the #TechNation report 2017) and a thriving advanced manufacturing sector in Norfolk. Now is the perfect time to bring them together to explore opportunities for co-creativity.
That’s why we are delighted to welcome Asif Moghal, Senior Manufacturing Industry Manager at Autodesk, as our special guest speaker on 8 June. Autodesk is the company that makes software for people who make things. “If you’ve ever driven a high-performance car, admired a towering skyscraper, used a smartphone, or watched a great film,” says Asif, “chances are you’ve experienced what millions of Autodesk customers are creating with our software.” Asif is also responsible for driving the company’s Future of British Manufacturing initiative.
Asif will be sharing some of the inspirational stories from the amazing world of Design and Manufacturing with us. In particular, he’ll be showing how digital technology and design is driving industrial innovation: Industry 4.0. Joining him will be Jamie Thums, who is Chief Operating Officer of Lintott Control Systems and chair of the New Anglia Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering Group (NAAME).
We are delighted that NAAME is also co-sponsoring this event. We look forward to seeing many of its members joining our regular Hot Source supporters in the audience. This should be an excellent networking opportunity as well as a fascinating evening. The event will be in the NUA lecture theatre – and we are expecting a large turnout – so book your free place now.

DREADZONE
One of the most energetic, exciting and powerful live bands to emerge from the post-rave scene, Dreadzone have steadily been releasing albums and progressively bettering, refining and perfecting their own unique and inimitable take on dub since their inception in 1993. Still going strong after 25 years in the game they have also long been and still are, one of the best live bands around.
In 2019, Dreadzone move forward as a 5 piece, after parting ways with their guitarist after 10 years, and are focusing more on the electronic and dub elements of their stage show – a sound they developed in earlier years of Dreadzone. Their old skool dread sound comes bubbling to the surface on new album ‘Dread Times’ which digs deep into their dub and reggae roots whilst still keeping the beats fresh and the textures electronic.
Dread Times is the band’s 8th studio album and the 3rd release on their own Dubwiser label. The album stormed into the Top 40 UK Official Album Charts on release in 2017 – the first time the band have charted in over 20 years. The album also made the Top 10 in the Indie and Dance Charts.

Level: beginner Prerequisites: Laptop with wifi, modern browser, text editor RSVP: https://www.meetup.com/Norfolk-Developers-NorDev/events/242461849/ JavaScript is amazing. It is a powerful, simple, infuriating, elegant and sometimes irrational programming language which was born in a hurry and can now do almost anything you can imagine. It can make whizzy websites, speak to databases, and draw maps, it can fly drones, make games, and build apps. You can run it on your watch or on your phone, on any web page or on hundreds of virtual servers. And if you’re reading this you’re probably contemplating learning it. This day-long workshop aims to cover enough ground to give you a broad base from which to start your quest. We’ll use plenty of practical exercises to explore the language. We’ll cover some of the tricky parts which often mystify people – especially handling asynchronous code, which is one of the language’s great strengths. We’ll spend most of our time in the browser, but we’ll also play around with node.js, JavaScript’s foremost server-side environment. There’ll be time to survey some of the different tools and frameworks which are popular with JavaScripters at the moment. As well as all this we’ll explore JavaScript’s history, its culture and community, and the factors behind its explosive growth. Perhaps most importantly we’ll introduce a set of resources which’ll help you continue your learning independently. You’ll need to come equipped with a laptop, and you should have a modern browser installed, along with a text editor you’re comfortable using. You don’t need to have a lot of knowledge or experience to join in, though any familiarity with another programming language will help a lot. There’s a lot to get into one day, so please bring lunch and Neontribe will be buying the first round in the pub straight after the workshop. Rupert Redington Rupert ran away from the theatre to become a web developer at the turn of the century. Since then he’s been making mistakes at Neontribe as fast as he can, learning from a reasonable percentage of them. Recently he’s been using Javascript to help teenagers talk to doctors, Americans to buy airline tickets and everybody to find their way to the loo. “Rupert did a fine job of making this an entertaining subject and his enthusiasm for js was infectious.” – Matthew Shorten “Thoroughly enjoyed it! Presenter was excellent. Would be interested in any other JS courses that he runs.” -Stephen Pengilley “I’d certainly sign up for other courses Rupert hosts in a flash. This was an introduction and as such it was perfectly positioned (in my humble…), but if ever there’s an “intermediate” course which goes into more depth with core principles & real-world use of loops, arrays, functions & objects that would be great.” – Steve Harman
