The Alan Turing Centenary Conference[1][2] was an academic conference celebrating the life and research of Alan Turing by bringing together distinguished scientists to understand and analyse the history and development of Computer Science and Artificial intelligence.

The conference was organised by Andrei Voronkov[1] and hosted by the School of Computer Science, University of Manchester where Turing worked from 1948 until 1954. It ran from June 22 to June 25, 2012 as part of Alan Turing Year[3][4] in Manchester Town Hall.[5]
