|}}The '''Turing Talk''', previously known as the '''Turing Lecture''',<ref name=ieturing/> is an annual award [[lecture]] delivered by a noted speaker on the subject of [[Computer Science]]. Sponsored and co-hosted by the [[Institution of Engineering and Technology]] (IET)<ref>{{cite web|url=https://events2.theiet.org/turing/index.cfm|title=Digital Twins: The Next Phase of the AI Revolution? - IET Events|website=events2.theiet.org|access-date=2020-02-17|archive-date=2020-02-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200217134821/https://events2.theiet.org/turing/index.cfm|url-status=dead}}</ref> and the [[British Computer Society]],<ref name=bscturing/> the talk has been delivered at different locations in the [[United Kingdom]] annually since 1999. Venues for the talk have included [[Savoy Place]], the [[Royal Institution]] in  London, [[Cardiff University]], The [[University of Manchester]], [[Belfast City Hall]] and the [[University of Glasgow]].<ref name=bscturing>{{cite web|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150409072033/http://www.bcs.org/category/5951|archive-date=2015-04-09|url=http://www.bcs.org/category/5951|title=Past BCS & IET Turing Lectures|publisher=[[British Computer Society]]|location=London}}</ref><ref name=ieturing>{{cite web|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150906071606/http://conferences.theiet.org/turing/speaker/previous/index.cfm|archive-date=2015-09-06|url=http://conferences.theiet.org/turing/speaker/previous/index.cfm|title=Previous IET and BCS Turing Lectures|publisher=[[Institution of Engineering and Technology (professional society)|Institution of Engineering and Technology]]|location=London}}</ref> The main talk is preluded with an insightful speaker, who performs an [[opening act]] for the main event.

The talk is named in honour of [[Alan Turing]] and should not be confused with the [[Turing Award]] lecture organised by the [[Association for Computing Machinery]] (ACM).<ref>{{Cite journal | last1 = Milner | first1 = Robin|author-link=Robin Milner | doi = 10.1145/151233.151240 | title = Elements of interaction: Turing award lecture | journal = Communications of the ACM | volume = 36 | pages = 78–89 | year = 1993 | doi-access = free }}</ref> Recent Turing talks are available as a live [[webcast]] and archived online.<ref name=youtube/>
