Discussion sessions
Meet your industry and specialist colleagues to get in the mood for the main programme of the conference day - your first opportunity for current updates, networking and exchange with a panel of experts. Bring your questions and get ready to discuss!

How can you securely access data across hybrid-cloud scenarios while controlling cost?

Organisations across all industries are adopting a cloud-first strategy and commonly have multiple cloud providers. However, this leads to data amassing in multiple clouds, each with their own analytics platform. In turn, this creates isolated intelligence and means organisations are restricted by the capabilities of the cloud vendor hosting its operational systems. How can organisations respond to these issues, so that data insights can be maximised , whilst simultaneously controlling costs? Join the panel to discuss further.

Customer / Citizen Experience in 2023 and beyond - Will it really be any different?

Today, we are challenged by automation, artificial intelligence and scalability on a daily basis. To add to this, new environments, such as the metaverse, are indicative of an inevitable collision between the real and digital world. With these changes gaining momentum, organisations will need to consider what challenges and opportunities are arising. And, more specifically, what these challenges and opportunities look like in relation to the consumer experience. Join our panel of experts to discuss.
