Our industry never stops changing, but sometimes those changes are trivial and fluffy and we can ignore them. Sometimes they are fundamental and enduring. This workshop is going to highlight some of the most important trends happening in the hardware, software, data and architecture spaces and why you should be paying attention to them.
We will focus on a group of independent technologies that are forming the basis of powerful strategies to modernize our IT systems at fundamental and incremental levels. This workshop will help you prepare for the future and focus on learning things that will have long-ranging impact for years to come.
