Imago Techmedia has announced the launch of IP EXPO Nordic in 2016, following on from the success of its London show earlier this month.

Held on 7-8 October at Excel London, IT event IP EXPO Europe reported a record attendance of 14,592 visitors for its tenth year – a nine per cent increase on 2014.

The organiser praised the visitor rise in part to a brand new format, encompassing six events under one roof for the first time ever.

The six sub-events, including the newly-launched DevOps Europe, Data Analytics Europe and Unified Communications Europe, examined the transformation of the technology industry.

Bradley Maule-ffinch, IP EXPO Europe’s director of strategy said this year’s IP EXPO Europe covered a full spectrum of issues that technology leaders across Europe face on a daily basis.

Speakers included Jimmy Wales, entrepreneur and founder of Wikipedia, who opened the keynote programme to an audience of more than 900, discussing a new era of data-driven change.

The line-up also featured industry leaders such as Mark Russinovich, CTO at Microsoft Azure, Michelle Unger, VP of Worldwide Sales at IBM Watson, and Robert Epstein, Windows 10 launch lead at Microsoft, who presented a keynote on Windows 10 for the Enterprise.

Maule-ffinch added: “Following the success of this year’s event, we’re very excited about the launch of IP EXPO Nordic next year – in addition to the continued success of IP EXPO Manchester, launched this year.”

The inaugural Nordic edition is set to take place in September 2016 in Stockholm, while the Manchester event will be held in May 2016 at Manchester Central.
