CIOs and IT Leaders are under immense pressure to lead their organisations through volatility, rapid market shifts and the accelerating impact of AI. Winning in this environment requires more than short-term execution; it demands continually evolving strategies, adaptive operating models and leadership that can translate new technologies into real performance gains.

In this session, we will discuss the core themes and lessons learnt from successful AI execution and learn the hindsight, insights and actions that are helping IT leaders build resilient, agile and high-performing organisations today that are prepared to thrive in the age of AI.

Join David Macfarlane, CEO of Gamma - Enterprise Markets, as he shares an update on Gamma’s performance and the strategic priorities shaping the next phase of our growth.

David will explore the progress we’re making across Europe, the partnerships helping us accelerate our strategy, and how the Gamma portfolio continues to evolve to meet the needs of modern organisations. This session will also set the scene for the day ahead, looking at how emerging technologies and changing business demands are reshaping the role of networks, communications and customer experience platforms.

Join us to hear how Gamma is building on this momentum and positioning for the next phase of innovation and growth.

Last year, we introduced a bold vision for transforming customer experience, operations, and security through a more connected, intelligent approach. But what’s changed since then? In this session, we move beyond strategy and into reality, sharing how that vision is being delivered today across Gamma’s operations. Through real examples, we’ll show how we’re simplifying complex environments, improving service outcomes, and applying AI in practical ways that drive measurable impact.
