IT Leaders' Summit
Reflection and Forward Planning
Six months on from our inaugural IT Leaders’ Festival, Deskflix IT Leaders’ Summit is a chance to take stock and reflect on the first quarter of 2021. How did you overcome the obstacles of 2020? Was progression as expected? What were your biggest threats and biggest growth opportunities?
In this episode of Deskflix, IT Leaders will be able to share and learn best practices from peers and industry experts. Not only reflecting on the ‘year of tech’ but taking a forward look to what 2021 has to offer for organisational growth empowered by technological developments. How can the IT department gain a seat at the board as a genuine organisational partner? What tech trends should be on your radar to enable you to make a business case, and to ensure you’re keeping the organisation secure from cyber-threats? With a continuation in remote working, how can you ensure culture that is diverse, inclusive, and motivational?

Policing does not operate in a vacuum and cannot stand still in the increasingly digital world we work and live in. The challenges and opportunities that digital disruption present to policing are rapidly becoming defining issues for the service. We must move now and move quickly. While it may feel like the pace of technology change is already overwhelming, it is only going to get faster.
In the last few years we have made progress, particularly around mobile technology and migration to cloud services. In 2020 we moved over 100,000 police officers and staff, and half of the UK police forces to a common blueprint for cloud technology and access managed, all proactively protected by our National Cyber Security Service.
In this keynote Wayne will share:
- How policing have begun to address the challenges of working across dozens of separate organisations, to deliver the Police National Digital Strategy.
- How we can maintain local flexibility within a national blueprint.
- How we are inspiring significant digital transformation in local business units in forces whilst sharing best practice.
Wayne Parkes, National Enabling Programmes Director, National Police Chief’s Council
In this section delegates are invited to join one of the below roundtable discussions. There will be 10-15 delegates in each session, discussing the topics below. We are running the topics 3 times in the day, so you can chose a time that suits you, or join multiple roundtable sessions throughout the day.
Battle-tested by the pandemic, digital has emerged with flying colours, presenting a unique opportunity for IT heads to lead their organisations to the next stage of modernisation.
This next stage requires looking at the way IT infrastructure is evolving to become more distributed, decentralised and interconnected and considering how the business can align itself to take full advantage.
Join us for a roundtable session to discuss the critical steps that leading organisations are taking to consolidate their successes, how they are gaining buy-in from the board and what choices they are taking to ensure their IT architecture will support their plans.

Today, 94% of cyber-threats still originate in the inbox. ‘Impersonation attacks’ are on the rise, as artificial intelligence is increasingly being used to automatically generate spear-phishing emails, or ‘digital fakes’, that expertly mimic the writing style of trusted contacts and colleagues. Humans can no longer distinguish real from fake on their own – businesses are increasingly turning to AI to distinguish friend from foe and fight back with autonomous response.
In this session, we will discuss:
- Real email or Fake email? Does it even matter?
- Your workforce is getting creative, are you keeping up?
- How to gain 100% visibility across the digital business.
- Augmenting your human team with AI.

Organizations are waking up to the realization that open source database solutions like Postgres offer greater capacity, flexibility and support that isn’t entirely dependent on any one company or developer. Postgres, like Linux before it, has been (and continues to be) engineered by dedicated users solving day-to-day business problems who choose to return their solutions to the community. In this session, we will discuss
- How and Why organisation should consider a move to open- source
- The Impact of COVID 19 on the Enterprise
- How Postgres supports Enterprises and how Open source is secure - busting myth on security & open-source
