Next week Tech Show London will bring together industry stalwarts and upstart market disruptors to explore the big challenges and emerging opportunities that digital technology has brought to our doorstep. The Excel Centre in the heart of London’s historic Royal Docklands will again be the crucible from which new ideas and relationships will emerge to shape the future of commerce, society, and tech in the years ahead.
As the UK’s most important event for tech professionals, it will bring together leaders from business, education, and government, plus a host of other visionary thinkers to bring to light groundbreaking technologies and devise workable strategies to manage humanity’s digital future.
From the Women in Tech networking event to panels on sourcing global talent, from talks on how to harness innovation to advice on understanding the true cost of cloud migration, the show will bring together the industry’s finest minds to explore shared learning and brainstorming opportunities, all within an enormous amusement park for technologists.
World-renowned experts from across the tech stack will be rubbing shoulders with influential C-level executives, key government figures, and the creative thinkers operating at the vanguard of AI and cyber security, all ready to share ideas that – they hope – will shake the industry to its foundation.
Explore how AI is impacting the cloud at Tech Show London
The whole event takes in every aspect of tech innovation, but nowhere is the focus more intense than in the Cloud and AI Infrastructure conference, or the Cloud and Cyber Security Expo.
Rapidly evolving technologies demand that expertise keeps pace. There is accelerating demand for large-scale, optimised compute, storage and networking capability to train, deploy and manage AI. Cloud & AI Infrastructure 2025, formerly Cloud Expo Europe, will help businesses get ahead of the curve.
From the early sessions on day one, the agenda strikes at the heart of how to master a cloud landscape that has evolved into the AI era. Entrepreneur and inventor Chris Barton, the founder and creator of Shazam, will opine on how to overcome obstacles that prevent companies from bringing AI to life, and invite the audience to create new visions for an AI-enabled future.
From deep dives into how to manage hidden cloud costs, led by Jon Brooks of Wasabi Technologies, and the importance of continuous learning in a fast-paced industry, through the experience of Efua Akumanyi of Coding Black Females, to advice from Spotify software engineer Dara Olayebi on how to manage both the excitement and the overwhelm of working in a tech industry filled with opportunities for growth, the agenda covers both the tech advances and the human issues that go hand-in-hand.
To explore the question of whether we are getting digital right, James Freed of Health Education England dissects the digital journey of the UK’s largest employer – the National Health Service – using a deep well of data to diagnose the technological ills of the country’s most beloved public institution, and define actionable solutions that could transform it.
Wherever technology is discussed, sustainability is always on the agenda, and recognising how environmental awareness is essential for business, two distinguished panels will look at how cloud infrastructure and cloud-based AI must evolve to both support business goals and meet regulatory requirements for sustainability.
Can the cloud be kept safe?
The Cloud and AI Infrastructure event also includes a talk by Etay Maor, Senior Director Security Strategy at Cato Networks, on how the AI agents and assistants that will enhance business in the future will become a prime target for threat actors. Fortunately, on the other side of the Excel Centre, the Cloud & Cyber Security Expo will look at how to head off such threats.
With the theft of £1.1bn in the massive Bybit crypto heist still ringing in people’s ears, security is firmly at the top of the agenda. Whether protecting cloud environments, critical infrastructure and consumer data or wrestling with identity management, experts at this event will look at how to get ahead of escalating cyber threats.
For her part, Dr Claudia Natanson MBE, CEO of the UK Cyber Security Council, will lead the big debate on whether going back to basics is the key to long-term success in cyber security, asking whether reinforcing core principles is the way to mount a successful defence against emerging threats.
With experts looking at how to manage identity security in a borderless digital world, asking whether the future skill set requires a marriage of expertise in both physical and cyber security, and exploring how to revolutionise data security through the transformative power of AI, no stone will be left unturned in the search for more robust threat management.
