Wednesday, June 12th | 2:30 pm
Presenter: Doug Sobieski, Director, Business Value & Customer Finance
Technology “as a Service.” It’s a buzz phrase we hear everywhere as organizations try to streamline their technology strategies. But what exactly does it mean? There is no consistent definition, which makes it easy to misuse and can cause confusion. In fact, it’s nearly impossible to provide a true “service” solution with on-premises hardware, no matter what it is. Join us as we debunk the myths and decode what “XaaS” really is so that you know how it aligns (or doesn’t) with your strategic business goals.

Leading Dynamic and Diverse Teams through A/V Integration
Thursday, June 13th | 2:30 - 3:30pm
Location: ED32 | W225
Speaker: Noreen Esson, Onsite Service Delivery Manager
Category: Diversity and Inclusion
Successful A/V design and integration requires more than the blending of technologies and handing over a functional solution. Engaging teams with diverse and disparate points of view provides multiple ways to look for solutions to complex issues that invariably arise through the course of project design and integration. How we engage with our clients and partners, while being thoughtful and inclusive, helps to define our level of achievement. Project and industry leaders who are self-aware, curious, and empathetic as they direct diverse teams are more effective in driving long-lasting relationships and successful endeavors. It is through leading dynamic and diverse teams that we create a breeding ground for ideas and creativity to flourish. With this, we become better at designing inclusive and immersive spaces, while completing projects through interactions with dynamic teams.
