March 28, 2019
It’s a week to go until IP EXPO Manchester 2019 brings leaders in the technology industry together under one roof to educate attendees on the latest IT innovations to help drive their business forward.

Hurley, Enterprise Editor at the Times. The pair will also look at how
AI systems and technology are impacting
the global marketplace.

the dangers that presents.
