You’re invited to an unforgettable evening of fine dining, premium wine tasting, and peer connection at the multi award-winning 14 Hills in London, courtesy of Chief Wine Officer, Marionete & Confluent. Alongside CTO, Wynand Jordaan and Regional Sales Director, Simon Wright, you’ll learn how to overcome the complexity of IT modernisation and will leave with actionable insights to implement at your own business. Your evening will be enhanced by a fine wine tasting with Master of Wine, Peter McCombie as your guide. Can we book your seat at the table?
Modern IT complexity stops many ambitious businesses from making meaningful progress. When we attempt to do it all at once, we often slow to a crawl. But market leaders are managing to simplify, integrate, and upgrade infrastructure while improving data governance and reducing risk. With newfound efficiency, costs savings, scalability, and flexibility, they’re not just thriving, but seizing the competitive edge.
Key discussion points
- Simplify complexity to achieve resiliency and scalability
- Migrating to a cloud-native architecture to accelerate digital transformation
- Leverage emerging technologies to propel business growth
This exclusive networking experience is open to just 10 technology leaders from organisations throughout the London area. Invite a relevant senior colleague by contacting the Event Director – but places are limited and highly popular, so secure yours today.
