Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), automation, Blockchain, and cloud cyber security solutions have transformed businesses of all sizes and presented new opportunities for continued innovation for the future of anything-as-a-service (XaaS). 

It’s just over two months away to Ingram Micro’s leading cloud event and if you haven’t registered already, here are some reasons to tempt you to do so…

Held on 21 and 22 May at the Landmark Hotel in London, the UK Cloud Summit features leaders from Acronis, Buffalo, Code 42, Dropbox Business, and Microsoft. Channel Pro, Cloud Pro and IT Pro are proud to be media partners this year, too.

“In 2019, UK Cloud Summit promises to bring you deeper insights and more ‘aha’ moments than ever before,” the event site teases.

The third UK Cloud Summit promises to be must-attend event of the year for anyone who wants to build, buy or sell cloud and digital technology. By attending, you can learn how to bridge the gap between technological innovation and commercial success. You will also benefit from real-world advice and best practice guidance on how your business can embrace the infinite potential to the infinite reality of cloud.

Attending the event offers a fantastic opportunity for business leaders and IT decision makers to:

• Find out more about the latest cloud solutions in the world’s largest cloud ecosystem
• Derive actionable insights thanks to practical learning sessions
• Listen to world-class speakers talk about the value and potential of cloud
• Network and build relationships with industry influencers, experts, peers, and top-level executives
• Understand how to commercialise IaaS, XaaS, AI, cyber security and IoT solutions

Alex Hilton, CEO of CIF, will host the event and will be joined by a fantastic array of speakers, including TV presenter Alexis Conran, who is probably best known as the host of The Real Hustle.

Outside of keynote sessions, there are three dedicated tracks, designed to help educate and inform attendees so they’re equipped to make insight-driven decisions on the emerging trends and technologies that are disrupting the industry.

Track one is focused on ‘Infinite Possibilities’ and will examine the new and disruptive technologies that are being fuelled by the cloud.

Track two is dubbed ‘Infinite Ecosystem’ and will focus how to derive value from industry leading cloud solutions.

Track three takes ‘Infinite Growth’ as its moniker. This track is designed to help delegates understand and overcome the challenges related to digital transformation.

To honour the partners who are tackling digital transformation head on, there will be a gala dinner and awards ceremony taking place on the evening of 21 May and nominations for a variety of award categories are now open. The awards will recognise partners across a number of categories including championing the women leading in the channel, MSP of the year, charitable partner of the year and more…  

“Discover new, disruptive technologies fuelled by the cloud (Infinite Possibilities), explore ways that they can benefit from category leading cloud solutions (Infinite Ecosystems), and grasp the challenges of transforming their business in the digital economy (Infinite Growth),” said Scott Murphy, director of cloud and advanced solutions and Ingram Micro in the UK and Ireland.

“You’ll learn about the extraordinary shift that’s taking the channel in a bold, new direction. Where the unknown becomes known. Where your business can leap forward in cloud enablement, and where the infinite potential becomes infinite reality.”
