ConTech 2019 takes place on the 5th and 6th December at the Millennium Gloucester Hotel, London.

Many organisations in ‘mature’ industries are now challenged to change rapidly, to keep pace with the leaders of the consumer internet that are now encroaching on – and often dominating -all verticals. In the pursuit of such ‘digital’ excellence, the capability for software engineering is key – and increasingly, the context for software engineering is now AI & Machine Learning.

AI and Data Science are changing the content landscape beyond recognition, at this year’s ConTech we discuss the breadth of opportunity we will demonstrate how to adopt AI and cite real life examples of where these technologies are making a difference.
