In the Clouds @ The Shard

Join us for an exclusive event where IT leaders and industry experts tackle the critical challenges shaping today’s technology landscape. From supplier resilience and regulatory pressures like the Financial Services industry’s DORA regulations to the growing risks of supply chain failures, global political uncertainty, ransomware threats, and the impact of major outages - what happens if Microsoft Aure/365, AWS, Bloomberg or even the London internet were to fail or be sabotaged?

Our expert panel of IT Leaders and Vendors will dive into the realities of cloud, the complexity of multi-cloud management, concentration risk, satisfying the board and the regulators.

Discussions will explore best execution venues for different workloads, SaaS considerations, Cloud Economics, and whether consolidation has actually reduced resilience. With cloud costs continuing to rise, we’ll also examine the role of FinOps in controlling spend, hybrid models, and whether IT financial operations shouldn’t now be a service in its own right.

We’ll cover operational resilience in a cloud-dominated world, the pressure on internal IT skills, and the risks of relying on a few key suppliers. From Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) to AI’s growing impact on cloud spend, this event will provide actionable insights for managing IT in an era of constant disruption.

Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with peers, gain strategic insights, and future-proof your IT estate.
