Conference Debate Session III:

Business continuity in the face of current and future challenges Intro- duced and Chaired by Paul Hughes, Research Director, Future of Connectedness, IDC Nobody can predict the next global crisis, but enterprises need to be prepared for it. Disruption caused by network failures, natural disas- ters, power outages, geopolitical events, or health crises can impact organizations of any size, in any location, and at any time. Every or- ganization needs to have a business continuity plan to ensure opera- tions can continue. A distributed, cloud-first architecture with built-in, redundant high availability ensures an organization’s users can stay productive while IT maintains control over access to corporate re- sources. This session explores the critical elements for an organization’s business continuity plan to ensure readiness when a crisis strikes. VIP Keynote: Secrets for Success – Learning from the Past & Plan- ning for the Future Dr Mary Lou Jepsen, Chairman of the Board, Open Water For our VIP Keynote, we are bringing together great technology and busi- ness innovators to offer us their secrets for success. This unique session will feature Mary Lou Jepsen, a tech sector heavyweight and former MIT professor. Jepsen has held senior positions at Facebook, Oculus, Google and Intel, and founded four hardware companies. Her latest venture is Openwater, the company behind a new generation of wearable medical imaging technology. She will be joined by a dynamic Tech VC, and togeth- er they will be drawing from their own experiences, sharing valuable les- sons and providing a roadmap for planning for the future. This tech super- star chat will close out with these visionaries providing their predictions for the next phase of business tech and will be followed by an audience Q&A.

Conference Debate Session V: Fresh thinking to fight back a rising tide of cyberthreats Introduced and chaired TBA
9:10 — 9:50am
New ideas are needed to protect against ransomware and other high destructive malware across all industry sectors. Data and networks are under threat as never before. We use this session to examine some of the cutting-edge work being done in the security space. Who are the vendors helping to make tomorrow’s commerce safe? What innovations are we seeing in the area of EDR, MDR and XDR?
Conference Debate Session VI: The Future of the Datacenter – and Finding the Right Cloud Balance Introduced and chaired TBA The datacenter is going through radical change as it evolves towards greater agility, programmability and flexibil- ity. The traditional approaches of yesterday are history. We also consider the latest thinking in the debate about where data really belongs – in the cloud or on- prem. Is ‘cloud first’ thinking changing in favour of a retreat to the datacen- ter? Or are we just seeing a cloud reset and a shift to more hybridised approaches?
9:50 – 10:30am

Conference Debate Session VII: Critical innovations in application development Introduced and chaired TBA
Security at the level of the application is the next big frontier for organisations to negotiate. As we move further into the era of the API, what will DevOps and DevSecOps professionals need to consider to ensure that applications and essential data are safe yet accessible? What new technologies and innovations are emerging here? How can organizations reconcile the need for business agility with the imperative of security? Conference Debate Session VIII: 5G/6G and Mobile Solutions for Commercial Use Introduced and chaired by Paul Hughes, Research Director, Future of Connectedness, IDC Forget the slow start that 5G has made in the consumer space. Is the next wave of 5G, and beyond that 6G, set to turn the world of enterprise connectivity on its head? We consider a range of dizzying possibilities for the enterprise.
