Introduction
The Internet is the primary cornerstone for business and communication today. In order to continue being a trusted, mission-critical platform, the Internet must be seen and proven to be secure, reliable and private. This conference will consider network confidence and neutrality, and exactly what these mean for your business, and the future success of the Internet. As well as keynote presentations, we will be having two panel discussions on the challenges and opportunities facing UK businesses; security issues; and the business impact of IPv6.
This conference is set to create a stimulus for learning, collaborating and defining strategies that shape the future of your business. It is a unique forum to meet, discuss and learn from the people driving the development of the Internet.
