Ready to simplify your digital transformation strategy?

Join us for a practical IT leadership conversation with AstraZeneca focused on tool consolidation, integrations, AI, governance, and what it really takes to create a more connected employee experience at scale.

The modern workplace is more fragmented than ever.
Too many tools. Too many channels. Too many disconnected systems.

And for IT leaders, that creates a major challenge.

How do you simplify the employee experience without oversimplifying the business?

How do you consolidate platforms, integrate systems, and embrace new technologies like AI — while still keeping security, governance, and scalability front of mind?

That’s exactly what this session is about.

Who’s joining us?
Sudie Bennett — Global Head of IT Services, AstraZeneca
Chris Blackstone — Senior Solutions Engineer, Workvivo

Together, they’ll explore what digital transformation really looks like inside a large enterprise organization — and how IT leaders can create a more seamless, scalable, and employee-friendly digital workplace.

Why Attend?
You’ll join IT, digital workplace, and employee experience leaders from around the world to unpack:


• The biggest challenges organizations are facing with fragmented tech stacks
• How to think about tool consolidation versus integration
• What employees actually expect from workplace technology today
• How to drive stronger adoption of new tools and systems
• Where AI fits into the future of IT leadership

No jargon. No product pitch. Just practical insights from one of the world’s most complex enterprise environments.

What to Expect:
This session will explore how AstraZeneca is thinking about digital transformation across its global workforce — balancing business needs, employee experience, governance, and innovation.

You’ll learn:
• Why so many organizations end up with disconnected employee experiences
• How to identify when your current tech stack is no longer working
• What role integrations play in a successful digital workplace strategy
• How to drive adoption and long-term behaviour change when introducing new technology
• How to approach AI in a way that balances opportunity, governance, and risk
• What the future of IT leadership looks like in an increasingly digital workplace

Digital transformation is no longer just about implementing more technology.
It’s about simplifying complexity, improving employee experience, and making sure your tools, systems, and people are all working together in the right way.


FREE to attend, but spaces are filling fast.

If you’re thinking about how to simplify your tech stack, improve adoption, and build a more connected digital workplace — this session is for you.
