| Description: | The Emerging ICT for Competitive Advantage Briefing is a half-day presentation designed to enhance delegates appreciation of the latest trends in Information and Communications Technology, as well as on the horizon developments that may have significant business implications in the medium term.
The presentation starts by considering a current generic IT system architecture, placing current leading-edge technologies and future developments in context.
