Gartner comments: The world has changed; advanced technology is literally in the hands of every individual – your customers, your employees and your competition.

Organisations will gain a competitive advantage if they seek the signals and take action. The Gartner analyst opening keynote will explore what it means to re-imagine IT and leadership to drive business success.
Additionally, delegates can visit the ITxpo show floor where technology and service providers will demonstrate their latest products and services where they can learn about the latest cutting- edge solutions – from the best-of-breed providers and ‘up and comers’.
