You can peruse the photos, presentations and customer showcase videos that made it such a success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year, the focus will revolve around <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the speed of business<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The accelerating pace of change remains a core challenge across all industries, but it is the uncertainty around the nature and timing of this change that holds the most significance.
