One of the highlights in this year’s events calendar for business and IT decision-makers must be Microsoft’s Future Decoded expo. The technology behemoth and an incredible cast list of IT experts from across the globe are converging at ExCeL London on the 1st and 2nd of October.
With 15 keynote speakers – including some famous faces, over 40 Microsoft Partners, and a dazzling array of speeches and sessions, your only challenge will be choosing between them.
We set out five reasons why you should escape your four walls and tell your team you’re going on an adventure with 12,000 of your peers.
Keynote speakers include Major Tim Peake – the first British astronaut to walk in space, and Dr Helen Sharman, the first British cosmonaut. Back on terra firma, we have Christian Horner of the Red Bull Formula One team. As you would expect, huge names from Microsoft will be there too, including accessibility champion Jenny Lay-Flurrie. We featured Jenny in a blog: How Microsoft Empowers Inclusion and Accessibility in the Workplace.
As well as the keynotes, there are just shy of 100 other speakers, representing a multitude of specialisms and industries – you can see the full list here.
One of the themes of the event is ‘Defining Trends’. One you won’t have escaped is the explosion in AI – artificial intelligence. The team at Microsoft has curated ground-breaking research into the AI revolution. There will be an exclusive reveal to help you prepare your business for the future before your competitors do.
IT Lab will be at the expo, alongside IT Lab company (and event Gold Sponsor) Content and Code at stand #57.
We’ll have experts from every IT discipline available - including our Dynamics 365 team, so whatever your burning issue, we’re ready to connect you to the right person.
Content and Code’s MVPs (Most Valuable Professionals) Chris O’Brien, Steve Goodman and David Bowman are delivering two theatre sessions: one on Teams, Flow and the Power Platform and another on the Future of working - building an employee focussed digital workspace.
There will also be ten overview presentations by Content and Code and IT Lab from stand #57:
