UC EXPO 2015 held on the 21 – 22 April at Olympia in London is Europe’s largest Unified Communication & Collaboration (UC&C) event encompassing the full range of technologies and services required to enable more efficient connectivity and bring significant cost savings to organisations. With over 90 specialist suppliers exhibiting and 5,000 ICT professionals expected to attend, the free two day event brings together the industry’s deployment experts, from both the private and public sector.

Research suggests the mobile UC&C market is expected to grow from $5.15 billion in 2014 to $17.38 billion by 2019. Whether you are looking to deploy a UC&C solution to attract the best and brightest digital experts of generation Y, empower the workforce with flexible working practices, or benefit from the significant cost savings, it is clear the UC&C technology offers numerous benefits for today’s businesses. UC EXPO 2015 will showcase brand new exclusive content and senior level insights from across the industry. This is a must-attend event for businesses wanting to get answers to their board’s questions about Mobility and real-time Communication and Collaboration.

The event will include a keynote from Marianne Calder, Managing Director, Collaboration Architecture Sales EMEAR at Cisco, and Microsoft’s Global General Manager for Product Marketing at Lync/Skype for Business, Giovanni Mezgec. The event will also feature case studies on Video Collaboration from Joao Fernandes at CERN, and flexible working from David Wilde at Essex County Council. Both will talk about their successes with UC&C from different perspectives: private vs public sector. The private sector is often driven by a need for the competitive advantage, whereas, the public sector is predominantly driven by cost, wanting to do more with less. But in both scenarios, they will show you how the technology pays off.

There will also be a “Future of” series of major panel debates encompassing every aspect of UC&C. The panel sessions will be taken by leading vendors in the industry, from the likes of Polycom, Blue Jeans, Salesforce, IBM, Unify, 8×8, and Huawei to name a few. Covering all aspects of UC&C including Video Collaboration, Enterprise Social Collaboration, UC&C Security and UC as a Service (UCaaS), each session will highlight how to align your investments in UC&C with the future of the digital workplace. The sessions aim to cover the key trends and insights within UC&C and what we expect to see from the industry in the next couple of years.

In addition, Microsoft will be providing seminars advising on the change from Lync to Skype for Business, the benefit of this tool in enabling flexible working and how presence and status can transform business efficiency. The event will provide you with practical advice from how to buy and deploy UCaaS, SIP Trunking, IP PBX and Cloud Voice services to how to prevent and tackle cyber threats to your communications network.

UC EXPO 2015, together with Unified Communication Insight (www.ucinsight.com) and the world’s largest UC&C LinkedIn group delivers news, insight and knowledge throughout the year. Attending UC EXPO 2015 will help to ensure business decisions are being made based on the latest best practice and organisations are able to continue, or start their journey in enabling workforce mobility.
