Business transformation doesn’t come from comfort zones.
That’s why our 14th annual Convergence Summit will inspire you to break out of yours and find fresh ideas, practical solutions and hands-on strategic advice that will help your business to innovate now.
A day of insights and fun, the Summit promises to be another energising event for UK technology and business leaders in search of better ways to work, serve and connect with the world!
I attend Convergence Summit year after year because it is the ideal opportunity to catch up with Britannic and its strategic partners. I always find the conference an incredibly useful resource to find out about the latest tech innovations and trends in the telecoms world.
