Chris talked about the future of ITSM, the ten-year anniversary of the Knowledge Conference and the importance of celebrating new customers with cake!

I spoke to conference rockstars David Crouch and John Gilmore about life, the universe, ITIL, Agile and DevOps!

David’s session is: ‘The pros and cons of adhering to a single best practice framework – tales from the trenches‘ and John’s session is about integrating SDLC, DevOps & ITSM so between the two of them, there was a wealth of experience on the line.
