For leaders responsible for critical digital infrastructure
Stockport • 7th May 2026 • Half-day
Hosted by IGEL, Omnissa & R-COM Consulting
When Minutes Matter brings together senior technology leaders from IGEL, Omnissa and R-COM Consulting to explore how digital foundations are evolving across public sector and mission-critical environments. 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. Sessions and discussion will be led by Spencer Pitts (Omnissa), John Moody-Waters and Charles Barratt (IGEL), alongside R-COM Consulting’s Grahame Benson — combining strategic perspective with hands-on experience from complex, real-world deployments.
