Everything you know is wrong

Monday 10:50am - 11:20am, IITP Conference (IITP 2 Room)

ICT is undergoing significant, tectonic changes on a global scale, however we are not adapting fast enough to those trends.

The old business models and processes are not going to survive the future technology trends.

This session looks at how to prepare for the near-future and make sure that you are ready to exploit the now by throwing out the old and embracing the new.

Disruption: Lightning Talks

Monday 3:20pm - 4:30pm, NZRise Day (NZRise 1 Room)

What are you passionate about that has disrupted the technology sector, or has the potential to?
