Highlights from the seminar programme...

Zoe Thompson from Phoenix Life and Wellbeing Coaching is hosting the session ‘Thriving together: Building a resilient team for success‘. The seminar will explore how to cultivate resilience in your team and how to provide the tools they need to thrive in any challenge.

“Shift Left” is a classic industry buzz word, but it can be hard to implement. Phil Payne from Bidvest Noonan will be hosting the seminar ‘Making ‘Shift Left” a reality’, where shares tips and tricks as well as an example where the implementation of a new operating model meant this was a necessity and not just an aspiration. 

Another huge theme that has been dominating the headlines this year is AI. Gustav Elveros from Ebbot will be presenting ‘Generative AI in ITSM: Exploring benefits and mitigating risks‘. The seminar will explore the highs and lows of integrating generative AI, providing insights into what to expect, how to ensure a secure implementation, and most importantly – how to avoid the risk of automating the wrong tasks. 

‘The seminars provided valuable insights into the industry’ 

The MSP Show, co-located with SITS, is a new trade exhibition dedicated to the rapidly growing Managed Service Provider sector. The show will have a dedicated theatre full of sessions specifically aimed at MSPs and improving their businesses. Expect sessions on everything from marketing to AI. UPDATE WITH MORE INFO!!
