SPEAKERS Influential commentators, industry experts and futurists explore emerging technologies, challenge assumptions, and offer fresh perspectives to help IT Directors anticipate change and drive smarter strategies for today’s operational demands.
 

Extremely valuable, the Richmond event always stands above the rest for me. So well organised, the right mix of vendor engagement, networking, great guest speakers and self development. I love the variety of vendors that are present at the event, many of which I would not have the opportunity to speak to normally.

A very enjoyable and engaging 2 days that was superbly organised in a perfect venue. There was a great mix of keynote speeches, discussion groups and one to one sessions with relevant and innovative suppliers
