The Modern Workplace: Live (Drop-in Expo: Attend at Any Time)

The pressure on IT leaders has never been greater.

Organisations are being asked to embrace AI, strengthen security, simplify operations and make better use of their data, all while managing costs and supporting users who expect more from technology than ever before.

The Modern Workplace: Live brings together technology leaders from Microsoft and Nerdio, industry partner specialists and Kerv experts for a practical day focused on what good looks like today. Through live demonstrations, expert-led sessions and hands-on conversations, we’ll explore the technologies, strategies and decisions shaping the modern workplace.

Come for an hour. Stay for the day.

This is a drop-in expo, not a conference. After the Microsoft Perspective keynote, pick the sessions that matter to you; skip the rest. Drop in for an hour or stay all day: choose live demos, industry experts, and the presentations most relevant to you.

We’ll also have a dedicated workspace available throughout the day, so if you need to catch up on emails, take calls or dip back into work between sessions, you can do so without leaving the event.

Registering is just as flexible. Pick the sessions that fits your day. Expo registration doesn’t commit you to attending any presentations, you can amend your selections later if your plans change. You’ll receive a separate calendar invitation for each one so you can build your day around exactly what you want without blocking out your whole diary.
