Guest speakers will include Iqbal Robun, Solutions Specialist for Research in Motion (RIM), a global leader in wireless innovation, giving a fascinating overview of how they expect their latest product, the Blackberry Playbook, the world’s first professional tablet, to change the way we do business.

Andy Lake, editor of flexibility.co.uk, the online journal of flexible working, will provide an insight into realising the benefits of flexible working, including looking at the proposed benefits of flexible working, reducing business costs and meeting staff aspirations. The presentation will examine people, property and technology issues and highlight where things go wrong as well as where they achieve the benefits, with findings from case studies and the latest research.

The Director of Propalms, Owen Dukes, will be showcasing a suite of software products that allow mobile and home workers to access data in a secure manner. He will also show how they enable the external delivery of centrally managed applications and Windows desktops, to any type of device.
