The Digital Leader 2020 Summit on Thursday 2nd July will be going ahead as a virtual event, delivered fully online.

The Virtual Summit will retain all of the main features of our standard conference programme – with keynote talks, breakouts and an exhibition hall – all hosted live on a virtual platform. We will also be running Q&A sessions to enable audience participation, and facilitating networking and business engagement opportunities over the course of the day. Not only will you be able to enjoy our full line-up of speakers – but you’ll be able to log-in remotely and join us from anywhere in the world.

As technology has evolved, IT has transitioned from a background support function to a core driver of value creation and competitive edge. This shift has placed senior technologists at the heart of the organisation where they are increasingly critical to decision making, strategy and leadership.

The Summit will explore the evolution of Information Technology as a discipline, discussing the increasing role of technologists in driving innovation, efficiency and impact within the business. The programme will also examine some of the most crucial components of leadership, looking at culture, vision, team building and communication.

The Summit is geared for senior technology leaders, and designed to provide an opportune forum for knowledge exchange, discussion, collaboration and high-level networking.
