UC EXPO 2015 takes place at Olympia in London on the 21st and 22nd of April. Established as Europe's largest Unified Communication & Collaboration (UC&C) event, it will feature the full range of technologies and services that can offer organisations more efficient connectivity and significant cost savings. The mobile UC&C market is forecasting growth from $5.15 billion in 2014 to $17.38 billion by 2019, so with over 90 exhibitors and 5,000 ICT professionals expected to attend, this event offers a valuable resource, with experts on tap from both the private and public sector.

UC&C technology offers organisations numerous benefits, including attracting the best and brightest digital experts of generation Y, empowering the workforce with flexible working practices and deriving cost savings. UC EXPO 2015 will showcase brand new content and senior level insight from across the industry, making it an ideal opportunity to get help with your organisations questions about mobility, real-time communication and collaboration.

There will be a keynote from Marianne Calder, Managing Director, Collaboration Architecture Sales EMEAR at Cisco, and Microsoft's Global General Manager for Product Marketing at Lync/Skype for Business, Giovanni Mezgec. It will also feature case studies on Video Collaboration from Joao Fernandes at CERN, and flexible working from David Wilde at Essex County Council. They will discuss their successes with UC&C from the very different perspectives of private versus public sector.

In addition a series of major panel debates entitled, 'Future of…" will examine every aspect of UC&C. The panel sessions will be taken by leading industry vendors, including Polycom, Blue Jeans, Salesforce, IBM, Unify, 8x8, and Huawei and will cover all aspects of UC&C including Video Collaboration, Enterprise Social Collaboration, UC&C Security and UC as a Service (UCaaS). Each session will explain how to align your investments in UC&C with the future of the digital workplace as well as covering the key trends and insights within UC&C and what we can expect to see from the industry in the coming years.

Microsoft will be providing their own seminars advising on the change from Lync to Skype for Business, explaining how this tool can enable flexible working and how presence and status can transform business efficiency. It will offer a range of practical advice from how to buy and deploy UCaaS, SIP Trunking, IP PBX and Cloud Voice services, to how to prevent and tackle cyber threats to your communications network.
