Reasons to visits UC EXPO 2018
It’s just a few days to go until UC EXPO, Europe’s largest Unified Communications and Collaboration event, returns to ExCeL London. This year’s event, running 16-17 May 2018, is set to provide attendees with two packed days of insights into the technologies that help deliver smarter collaboration and build a truly connected business.
Smarter collaborative working is now the norm as organisations take advantage of new methods, technology and best practice. UC EXPO 2018 is bringing together the world’s leading influencers and brands to discuss the next evolution in smarter collaboration and help address the collaboration conundrums businesses are currently facing.
