Fundamental changes are happening in every sector of technology. The old on-premise world is moving to the Cloud. The desktop is being replaced by myriad devices. Bandwidth is exploding and becoming ever more mobile. Social networking has gone mainstream. Consumer technologies are invading the workplace.

At the same time, budgets are being cut as users – in both the public and private sectors – demand more for less. Periods of rapid change in the way both enterprises and consumers use technology create not only huge threats for those wedded to old models, but also huge opportunities for new ventures and existing businesses capable of capitalizing on the new trends.

Leading industry executives, market analysts, investors and economists thought about the prospects for 2012 and beyond as technology enters a new and exciting era. This event was chaired by BBC's Political Editor, Nick Robinson and included speakers from Cabinet Office, Google, LinkedIn, Standard Chartered, ARM, Telecity, & Lloyds Bank.
