Featuring Matt Turner , former head of SAM at BT.

11.55 - 12.40 | Panel session - ITAM 2029 - what will the future bring?
In this panel session, we will be asking ourselves what ITAM will look like as a profession and as a discipline in 2029. Facilitated by Kylie Fowler, we'll be asking: what assets will we be managing? What will be our major challenges? What will ITAM careers look like? What tools will we require? and how will we be dealing with vendors? Above all, we'll be exploring how we will manage the trade-offs between security, cost management and agility to ensure our organisations achieve the right outcomes.

We all collect masses of data but without context that data has no value to your organization – what is the cost of doing nothing with this data? We will further examine how this data can be best visualized based upon the audience, after all what makes a compelling story to the finance team might not to the security team.
