CW International Conference: Thinking Beyond the Hype

How to identify the business-critical technologies of the next decade.

The CW International Conference has a reputation as the place to talk to leaders in the technology industry and gather unbiased, insightful information on the technology that will be impacting your business in the coming decade.

Now celebrating its tenth year, CWIC 2018 takes its theme, Thinking Beyond the Hype, from Gartner’s Hype Cycle.  The conference will look beyond media excitement and expectations to see the real potential in seven areas of special interest: 5G and Network Innovation; Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning; Blockchain; Future Mobility Ecosystems; Industrial IoT and the Connected Enterprise; Mixed Reality and Satellites.

With 30 speakers lined up from world-leading organizations such as Arm, Bosch, BP, IBM, Iridium, Nokia – and, of course, Gartner – and because each session is curated by a subject matter expert from within the CW Membership, delegates can be assured of high-quality debate that isn’t shy of confronting the elephant in the room.

For all attendees the day will be wrapped up with a Gala Dinner where Dame Wendy Hall of the University of Southampton will address delegates.

 

“A great conference with excellent speakers, well attended, at a very modern, stunning conference centre. Highly recommended to other like-minded ICT businesses and clients looking for our services.” - Coderus on CWIC 2017
