• Cloud adoption
• Big data, analytics and actionable insight

The role of technology, and the IT leader has changed significantly over the past 10 years. No longer is IT just a supporting function for business – IT and the technology leader are now part of the value chain, and intrinsic to meeting business goals and objectives.

CIOs need to be able to stay abreast of the latest developments and disruptions to ensure they can meet the demands of fast changing and evolving customer expectations and behaviours.

At the Noord Group, we understand the power of face-to-face interactions and their ability to inspire, drive change and do better business.

With this in mind, we individually approach all of our delegates to fully understand their expectations and participation goals. Based on the information collected, our dedicated business matching team devises a personalised itinerary featuring a variety of powerful business interactions such as:

• One-to-one meetings with our Solution Partners so as to be introduced to the products and services most relevant to energise business growth
• Quality interactions with other delegates during the frequent time-slots dedicated to participant networking

 

The event will also provide ample opportunities to mingle with peers in a casual set-up, including during:

• Coffee breaks
• Gala dinner
• Luncheons

 

These relaxed, informal and interactive networking sessions will guarantee that you make enduring and mutually beneficial connections which will help you expand your network of contacts as well as your sphere of influence.
