Consumerisation of IT Summit

This event requires registration: http://www.corporateitforum.com/consumerisation/

The Consumerisation of IT has become the hottest of industry topics but with all the talk, blogs, surveys and tweets, how do you make sense of it and understand the change it represents?

Employees are sneaking powerful smartphones in through the organisational back-door and IT departments are trying to catch-up; the sea change from locked-down, bolted-to-the-desk computers to app-filled, hand-held devices is immense.

Get consumerisation right and the opportunities are extensive. Get it wrong and the implications could be disastrous.
Consumerisation cuts across the whole IT environment. Crucial decisions need to be made, and so The Corporate IT Forum is organising a Consumerisation of IT Summit to explore how the high street consumer is leading the enterprise and what you can do to exploit it.
Representing the peak of industry knowledge, experience and best practice, the Summit will balance real-world user experience with supplier expertise. Designed to inspire ideas, provoke discussion and prompt action, the Summit will give you relevant, practical and up-to-date information on this fast-moving subject.

Speakers so far confirmed include:
– John Harris, Forum Chairman/ Chief Architect and VP Global IT Strategy, GlaxoSmithKline
