DT2023 | Digit Events | 25 October 2023 | Dynamic Earth, Holyrood Rd, Edinburgh EH8 8AS, UK

Organisations are changing, the rapid pace of the digital world has necessitated a fundamental shift in mindset. Digital has disintermediated markets; disrupted organisational structures, created new risks and new revenue streams and fundamentally altered the way businesses engage with their customer.

The most influential companies of our age share a common ability to understand two things effectively: people and technology. In these turbulent times, success is increasingly defined by the ability to respond to the fast-changing landscape, and exceed the expectations of the people we serve.

It will contextualise the key technology trends and industry disruption amidst a backdrop of significant socio-economic upheaval.
