March month saw a jam-packed room full of tech-heads and tech-savvy entrepreneurs, all eager to hear what Deloitte SA had to reveal in their 10th Annual Tech Trends Report.
The morning started out with introductions from key players in Deloitte and moved quickly into the main keynote speaker, Hans van Grieken, world-renowned EMEA Technology Research & Insights Leader at Deloitte.
We received a 360-degree view of what Deloitte believes has shaped the tech environment so far over the past decade and what is still to come. We got inside views into businesses who are using amazing tech to grow and prosper themselves, and more important, others.
