UCToday.com were recently lucky enough to secure an agreement with UC EXPO - Europe's biggest UC&C (Unified Communications and Collaboration) conference. That means that we'll be attending one of the most innovative conferences in the world, where thought-leaders from across the communications industry are coming together to share their insights into the ever-evolving world of the modern workplace.
If you're interested in UC&C, you want to learn how you can go about implementing a truly unified communications strategy within your workplace, or you simply want to learn more about the nature of Unified Communications, then we've got plenty of great reasons why you should attend 2017's UC EXPO.
1. UC&C Is Essential in the UK
Unified Communications helps businesses to communicate seamlessly in real-time through any device or location at lower operating costs. Data and telephone networks converge together in a system operated through a single provider, minimising costs and making experiences more customisable and accessible.
In the UK, socio-economic developments like Brexit have meant that, for many organisations, a UC strategy is no longer an opportunity - but a necessity for enabling global collaboration in the evolving world of remote working and increasing productivity. If you want to future-proof your business, and continue to have access to the talent that you need, then you need unified communications. This year's UC EXPO will give you the insight you need to understand where UC is going, and how your business can get started.
2. Learn from Globally-Recognised Speakers
As Europe's largest unified communications and collaboration event, UC EXPO was bound to have some pretty incredible speakers. However, these globally-recognised names are going to be conducting seminars that inspire and educate change that's fit for the digital world. Exhibitors will be innovating products and solutions fit for everyone from SMEs to enterprises, which means that everyone has an opportunity to learn.
