With talks from BT, Cisco, Palo Alto, Zscaler and much more, you'll have the chance to hear from thought leaders and experts from across industry.
During the festival we'll break down the themes of Security and Sustainability into four main focus areas - Emerging technology, Workforce, Regulations and Transformation. Collectively these areas focus on scaling future technologies securely, preparing the workforce with essential skills, ensuring business resilience through compliance, and maximising tech ROI for growth. They encompass the integration of AI, fostering diversity and cybersecurity awareness, navigating global regulations and crises, and promoting sustainable practices in technology and business operations.
Join our speakers across two festival stages for a day packed full of keynotes, discussions and thought provoking insight.
Kicking off the day, Allison Kirkby (BT Group CEO) and Bas Burger (BT Business CEO), will be sharing some of their insights on security and sustainability thought leadership. They'll the be joined by customers including Matt Rowe (Lloyds) as well as representatives from Rolls-Royce and other organisations to discuss emerging technology, future workforce, regulations and transformation.
Providing a futurist's view on emerging threats of tomorrow we have Matthew Griffin (311 Institute). Along with panels on the topics of 'Scaling Securely and Sustainable AI' with speakers including Paul Brook (Dell), Arik Roztal (Nvidia), Hilary Tam (AWS) and more.
A Secure Workforce panel will discuss how to build a sustainable and robust security workforce for tomorrow by closing the skills gap, investing in education and training, and empowering organisations to tackle future challenges like automation and AI. You'll also have the chance to hear from Howard Watson (BT CTO), Rob Black (former Director UK Cyber Security Challenge) and Dr Andrea Cullen (co-founder of CAPSLOCK) speaking on these topics.
