The 2021 Speaker Line-up

We had a truly diverse mix of local, regional and global thought leaders with a senior level opening plenary session including ministerial, ambassadorial, academic and industry representation.

Our speakers covered a big set of subjects ranging from synthetic agents, ethics, fraud, SDLC, healthcare, banking, smart cities, RPA, Government policy, talent acquisition, quantum computing, chatbots and customer service to name but a few.  When you join the show you can configure your own bespoke agenda so you maximise your time with the people you want to meet and talk to.
