Product Innovation Forum

New to ITW in 2025, the Product Innovation Forum is set to challenge CSPs way of thinking on how their product suites need to evolve. How can evolving customer requirements, technology advances and fresh ideas unlock new revenue opportunities?

Our carefully selected roster of innovators - from start-ups to established players - will deliver short presentations and then be questioned by our expert panel and you the audience on how these could translate into new or enhanced revenue streams. 

Fun, lively and interactive - join us for this half-day session and leave inspired!
