Imagine being able to monitor, simulate, and optimise an entire city, factory, or supply chain in real time. Next-generation digital twins are making this vision a reality, transforming how we manage and understand complex systems. By creating dynamic virtual replicas of physical assets and processes, digital twins allow organisations to predict issues, optimize performance, and make data-driven decisions with unprecedented accuracy.This event will explore how digital twins are being used across industries to revolutionize the way we operate and maintain large-scale, intricate systems—whether it’s the infrastructure of a smart city, the efficiency of a factory floor, or the resilience of global supply chains.Examples of Digital Twins in Action:Smart Cities: Urban planners can use digital twins to simulate traffic flow, monitor energy usage, or predict the impact of weather events on infrastructure. This enables cities to optimize resources and improve the quality of life for their citizens.Factories of the Future: Manufacturing plants are leveraging digital twins to monitor equipment in real time, prevent downtime, and optimize production lines. With predictive analytics, factories can avoid costly breakdowns and improve overall efficiency.Supply Chain Management: Complex supply chains, spanning continents and industries, can be modeled as digital twins to track shipments, simulate disruptions, and optimize logistics. Businesses can reduce inefficiencies and respond faster to market demands.Key Themes:Real-Time Monitoring and Simulation: How digital twins provide real-time insights into complex systems, allowing for dynamic response and optimization.Predictive Power: Leveraging AI and data analytics, digital twins help organisations predict and mitigate issues before they happen, from equipment failures to supply chain bottlenecks.Scalability Across Ecosystems: Digital twins aren’t limited to individual assets—learn how they can be scaled across entire ecosystems like smart cities or global supply chains for maximum impact.Building Trust and Security: With digital twins handling critical infrastructure and sensitive data, what are the security and governance frameworks needed to ensure trust in these virtual systems?Why You Should Attend:Next-generation digital twins are no longer just a concept—they are revolutionizing industries by offering a new way to manage complexity. Whether you’re looking to optimize a city, factory, or supply chain, this event will provide practical insights into how digital twins can transform your organisation’s operations and drive future innovation.

Everyone wants value for money. But in IT, that value is spread across infrastructure, software, services, and people. Your infra spend is creeping up. App maintenance is eating your budget. New development is exciting but comes with hidden overhead. And people costs, from operations to engineering, remain the largest, most overlooked slice. If you’re under pressure to optimise without compromise, this session brings the right questions, trade-offs, and shared lessons to the table.

Migrating legacy systems to the cloud remains one of the toughest balancing acts in IT. Every choice affects stability, cost, and trust at once, and what starts as a modernisation effort quickly turns into a negotiation between ambition and reality. Suddenly budgets rise, dependencies appear late, and timelines tighten as old architectures collide with new expectations. In the end, success depends on sequencing, ownership, and aligning business priorities with infrastructure limits, and not only on technical readiness. Making it work requires more than a plan on paper. Knowing which systems genuinely belong in the cloud, which can wait, and which should stay put shapes the entire roadmap and defines its success. Each refactoring decision sets the level of future flexibility, but it also drives cost and risk. The trade-offs between speed, sustainability, and resilience only become clear once migration begins and pressure builds. Let’s discuss how to plan migrations that stay on track, manage hidden dependencies, and handle downtime with confidence. Let’s also discuss how governance, testing, and vendor coordination keep progress visible and credible. Are you in? A closed conversation for those who turn cloud migration from a disruption into a long-term advantage.

AI coding assistants entered development teams quietly, but their impact grows by the day. What started as autocomplete now shapes architecture decisions, documentation, and testing. And when productivity gains are visible, so are new risks: security blind spots, uneven quality, and the slow erosion of shared standards. Teams move faster, but not always in the same direction. The challenge has become integration rather than adoption. And new questions have risen: how do you blend automation into established practices without losing oversight? When is human review still essential, and what should the rules of collaboration between developer and machine look like? As AI tools learn from proprietary code, where do responsibility and accountability sit? Let’s talk about how to redefine those workflows, balancing creativity with control, and protecting code quality in a hybrid human-AI environment. A closed conversation on where AI accelerates progress, where it introduces new debt, and how development culture must evolve to stay credible.

Goosehead Insurance uses Jasper for content creation and distribution to manage their marketing campaigns. The results include increased content output, ROI, and speed of delivery while maintaining control of brand voice.
In an increasingly competitive insurance landscape, Goosehead Insurance, an independent personal lines insurance agency operating throughout the United States, found itself facing a significant hurdle: how to scale up its marketing production without compromising on quality or overburdening their small and recently established marketing team. With a need for fresh, engaging content that could capture their target audiences, Goosehead turned to Jasper - an AI-powered content creation and distribution platform - to transform their marketing approach.
Seeking an innovative, efficient solution for content creation, Goosehead Insurance opted to employ Jasper's AI-driven capabilities to optimize its marketing program. The platform offered an extensive suite of features that enabled Goosehead's marketing team that includes Leslyn Felder and Jaycie Nesbit, to swiftly create and disseminate a wide variety of content. This included blog articles for the company's online learning center, email campaigns targeting potential and existing clients, and repurposing social media content to maximize reach and engagement.
Jasper's strategic integration into Goosehead's marketing workflow led to a substantial increase in productivity and allowed the company to witness several performance gains. Goosehead observed the following impressive results:
In the first quarter of the year, the marketing team wrote 44 new articles for their learning center blog—a volume possible because of Jasper. The platform allowed them to ramp up their content production speed, enabling them to consistently publish five articles each week. From this material, the team rapidly created social media posts to support their website traffic goals. Leslyn said, “Jasper enables me to create at a pace that ensures I can attend to the variety of my responsibilities and still achieve our goals. From one piece of content, I can easily develop derivative assets and have time to analyze performance, rather than spending it all on the creation itself.”
Goosehead observed a remarkable 22% click-through rate increase in email campaigns utilizing Jasper. The team attributed this improvement to the platform's ability to craft and test compelling content that resonated deeply with recipients, enticing them to engage further.
Instead of struggling to customize content for three disparate audiences, Jaycie commented, “I took concepts that worked in past campaigns, assigned specific tone and style to each audience and Jasper created the appropriate outputs for me.” With Jasper Brand Voice and email templates, Jaycie can now work rapidly with control across separate segments, writing 30 emails a month. Added personalization and segmentation contributed to a 20% increase in revenue between Q3 and Q4. “Jasper allows me to move more quickly and more confidently for each of my target segments; I can go to market faster, test messages faster, and make improvements faster.”
Leveraging Jasper's capabilities and with input from their Customer Success Manager, Goosehead's marketing team was able to overhaul their franchise-facing website and achieve significant time savings. Using content improver and paragraph generator in Jasper, the team updated this website to be more relevant to their franchise audiences. Since the content was adjusted for a new audience, it took a complete revision for every aspect of the website. Jasper helped develop benefits statements, FAQ documents, differentiation copy and market analysis to bring depth and specificity to the multi-paged website. As a result, Goosehead achieved an impressive 87% increase month over month in visibility for their franchise pages. This invaluable partnership helped elevate Goosehead’s brand and drive business growth.
The successful integration of Jasper's AI-driven solution into Goosehead Insurance's marketing program has had a positive impact on the team’s productivity and performance. With the help of their dedicated customer success manager and access to the platform's features and capabilities, the marketing team could effectively scale their operations and establish themselves as a department that was creating new effective content and generating revenue for the business. Leslyn puts it best; "We are a small but mighty team, and Jasper adds the muscle power to make us mightier."
