With each passing day, we are making changes to how we live, work and play – using technology to make our digital lives more simple, seamless and secure.

The Internet of Things is changing the user experience from workspaces and public transport to retail locations; AR and VR is bringing shopping experiences to our living rooms and artificial intelligence is helping us secure payments and is making every engagement we make more personal than ever before.

We will be making a number of global and regional announcements that demonstrate our commitment to this future, and we’ll be unveiling a number of brand new technologies on our stand for the first time.
