Machine learning? Automation? Digital transformation? Cloud integration? These are all terms that we have heard in recent years, but as with all technology, their origins lay further back than most consider. Yet only now are these technologies advancing at an unprecedented rate with their adoption and implementation still to reach their full potential.

The thought leaders, IT departments, and tech teams who will turn these technologies into the tools and services that will revolutionise our workplaces and homes are helping to lay the foundations for the next stage in technology’s expansion. Despite this, the demand for tech specialists is at an all-time high. With industry veterans changing employers in swathes and Gen Z entering the workforce, there is a renewed confidence and idealism in the role they play but that also includes host of new expectations for their employers.

You won’t want to miss out on what Computing’s IT Leaders Festival has to offer, and we hope to see you then.

LIVE IN LONDON

This year we kicked-off the festival with an exclusive in-person extravaganza on the Tuesday 4 October at the Cavendish Conference Centre in London where we looked at machine learning, automation, digital transformation and cloud integration.

To ensure you get the most out of taking a day out of the office, delegates attended roundtables which gave them the chance to really deep dive into key technology issues. The festival was an experience not to be missed, with IT leaders coming together to hear visionary speakers, being first to learn Computing’s proprietary industry research, collaborate with peers and come away with new thinking that will create actionable change.

LIVE ONLINE

On 11 October, we provided an entertaining and engaging digital experience live from Computing's studio in Covent Garden, for industry professionals to learn from new case studies, industry discussions, and practitioner deep dives. We discussed further some of the key themes from day 1 such as talent recruitment and retention, product management, scale agile, and sustainability, to name just a few.
