Champions of Change, HPE and Microsoft Roundtable

Join Champions of Change, HPE and Microsoft for an Exclusive Roundtable
For many organisations, the cloud strategy that made sense five years ago is no longer delivering the same outcomes.
Escalating cloud costs, VMware licensing changes, increasing AI demands and growing governance requirements are prompting technology leaders to reassess where workloads should live and how modern infrastructure should be managed.
Join Champions of Change, HPE and Microsoft for an exclusive executive roundtable exploring how organisations are balancing public cloud, private cloud and on-premises infrastructure to create environments that are more cost-effective, resilient and AI-ready. Rather than product presentations, this interactive discussion will bring together technology executives to share experiences, challenge assumptions and explore practical strategies for building a more flexible hybrid future.
