London, May 2017 – UC EXPO, Europe’s largest unified communications and collaboration (UC&C) event, today unveiled keynote speakers from the world of Formula One racing, and Global technology leader Cisco. Alan Peasland, Head of Technical Partnerships for Red Bull Racing, joins as this year’s Day One opening keynote and Snorre Kjesbu, VP/GM Cisco Collaboration Endpoints Technology Group, as Day two opening keynote.
Red Bull Racing Formula One Team has been one of the most successful on-track in the last decade, with four double World Championships and many more podium finishes under their belts. They rely on the networking and UC expertise of AT&T to connect their highly mobile workforce as they race around the World. Head of Technical Partnerships for the Team, Al Peasland will be joining UC Expo to tell the story of this collaboration and Innovation Partnership with AT&T.
Collaboration and success are also key topics for Snorre Kjesbu’s keynote on Day Two of UC EXPO. With a session entitled ‘Collaboration When Disruption is the New Normal’, Kjesbu will be delving into why rapid innovation is now critical on the CEO agenda. With traditional industries now facing disruption, collaboration plays an important role in enabling competitive advantage in an increasingly competitive market.

The Red Bull Racing team is a prime example of a group pushing technology innovation to another level to help them succeed. Whilst Cisco has long been heralded as one of the UC heavyweights of the technology industry.
