<div>"What's on the road ahead? The Dell approach" Chris Miller, Executive Director, Dell Software Group</div>

This is a unique opportunity to listen to an industry leader who has held key management and executive roles at some of the UK’s top IT companies, as well as being a founding member of the E Skills organisation. This is a free public lecture.<br>

The talk will cover a number of topics including: emergent technologies and the challenge of managing the shift from LAN-based computing out to the new perimeter (mobile devices, cloud, and ultimately, people). Chris will also give a unique insight into "the
Dell approach".<br>
