What can you expect?

Unpacking today's most pressing challenges

Scaling without seams: Share firsthand experiences navigating a distributed workforce. Discuss how peers are designing flexible IT models to absorb rapid growth, M&A, and hiring fluctuations—without proportional headcount expansion.
The retrieval & refresh economics: Explore the hidden costs of device lifecycles. Swap stories and strategies on the tipping points for outsourcing logistics, offboarding ROI, and navigating pre-ship security without bottlenecking deployment.
The integration tax: A candid exchange on how critical systems (Okta, Workday, Jamf, ServiceNow) truly interact. Discuss the reality of "zero-touch" onboarding, growing integration complexities, and where peers are seeing real impacts from AI.

Man in suit presenting top IT initiatives: Security, AI on a flip chart to seated colleagues.
