As operational pressure increases across healthcare, local government and frontline services, the focus is shifting from reactive IT to resilient, secure and recoverable infrastructure. This half-day forum in Stockport opens a practical conversation around what’s changing, what’s working in real environments, and how organisations are adapting their strategies.
