The conference will hone in on how smarter practices in collaboration could enable modern organisations to evolve into stronger workplaces.

The UC EXPO event for 2018 is all set to take place between the 16th and 17th of May at the ExCeL centre in London. Early announcements suggest that the conference will be looking at all the different aspects of communication technology which might allow smarter workplace environments and provide a more "connected" business space.

The event will be composed of two days of industry presentations, exciting debates, and seminars from industry leaders around the world, along with access to more than 100 exhibitors from some of the biggest brands in the world. You're sure to find plenty of things to discuss at this hub of technical advancements.

The Theme for Clever Collaboration

According to the Portfolio director for UC EXPO, Bradley Malue-Ffinch, as new work habits continue to transform the way we do business, it's time to think about how the office environment can become a more collaborative place. Generational changes have meant that many employees now expect to get involved with greater opportunities for flexible working, and chances to play with the latest technology too.

The demands placed on unified communication and collaboration vendors are higher today than ever before, as the industry continues to evolve at a rapid pace. UC EXPO is looking forward to getting another opportunity to bring the leading influencers around the world into the same space to discuss the concept of smarter collaboration, and what the future of UC&C might look like.
