With lots of companies making so much noise about the latest and greatest tech trends they’re taking to market, it’s difficult to know what innovation actually is and what is just perhaps a bit of lip service.
In this informal discussion, we talk to industry experts to cut through the buzzwords and get to the real deal of innovation; what it actually is and how businesses do it successfully. You’ll take away ideas and inspiration for getting businesses on board with your ideas and gain an understanding of what kind of innovation there’s a demand for. There’ll also be an opportunity to ask questions so if you have any innovative ideas yourself, you’ll have the chance to put it to the experts.
We’re excited to be joined by Paul Prendergast and Nigel Walsh for this event.
