About

In an era where digital transformation drives competitive advantage, downtime has become one of the most critical challenges businesses face. It’s no longer just a technical issue—it’s a reputational and financial risk that can impact share prices, invite regulatory scrutiny, and erode customer trust. Recent data reveals staggering insights:

• 78% of organisations are willing to accept downtime risks to adopt new technologies.

• 74% of tech execs say downtime delays time-to-market.

• Collectively, the world’s largest 2,000 companies face annual losses of $400 billion due to unplanned downtime.

This European VIP Dinner is designed to shift the conversation from product-specific solutions to a broader exploration of the implications of downtime. Together, we’ll discuss how businesses can strike the delicate balance between driving innovation and maintaining resilience.

Mark Woods, Chief Technical Advisor, EMEA at Splunk will kick off the meeting and through collaborative dialogue, we’ll uncover strategies to mitigate risk, align teams, and adopt smarter approaches to digital resilience. Let’s explore how we can prepare not just to recover from downtime, but to thrive in the face of its challenges.
