This event incorporates the IABM AGM:

IABM AGM - 1.30pm - 2pm

Executive Summit - 2pm - 5pm

Changing market dynamics driven by the digital revolution are fundamentally rewriting the way we do business, technology choices, and working practices. To succeed today, we need to think and act differently across every aspect of what we do – transforming our businesses.

That’s why IABM is hosting a series of Executive Summits on Business Transformation – each drilling down into a key element - to arm members with the strategies they need to navigate this change successfully across every aspect of their business.

In this Executive Summit, we are taking an in-depth look at the move to Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) business models. SaaS has major implications across the organisation, from R&D and product lifecycle management to finance, sales and marketing.

The Summit will open with a keynote speech, backed up by in-depth research from IABM’s Business Intelligence Unit. A panel debate follows, with delegates encouraged to join the conversation.

Book now to ensure your place and be part of the revolution – not a victim of it!
