Find out how to revolutionise the decision making process, through cross-department and cross-functional team data-driven insights.
Hear best case practices – and lessons learned – on current and planned uses of AI: how it is being utilised in automating routine front and back office tasks; how it is enabling measurable productivity; how it is mitigating corporate risk; controlling the conference room tech for optimum experiences; and how AI is making efficiencies across the board – not at the cost of but in support of the labour force.
We will also address a wide range of topics and trends around workplace digital transformation: communications – the rise of the corporate studio, and immersive experiences; robust cybersecurity measures, to protect sensitive data and ensure business continuity; and sustainability as part of the workplace strategy. We’ll also take a deep dive with UCC experts into the latest digital trends, what they are working with now and what they see coming down the line.

The concept of 'simplicity' in technology is subjective and continually evolving. Requests for simplicity in tech projects often mask complex needs, as 'simple' lacks a concrete definition.Using case examples we will explore how 'simplicity' often centers on intuitiveness rather than reduced complexity, urging us to connect the term to individual perception and experience rather than a fixed idea.
