We’re helping Vodafone to lead the nation’s digital future, shares our Enterprise Partnerships Lead Emily Knuckey, who attended Vodafone’s Future Ready 2018 conference and writes it up below.
Yesterday I was excited to be invited to Vodafone’s Future Ready 18conference at its UK headquarters in Newbury. Mainly because it meant I got to wear those cool virtual-reality goggles that I’d seen others playing with and never got to try (jokes… I could barely figure out what I was meant to be viewing).
In all seriousness, I was keen to learn more about artificial intelligence, cloud services and the Internet of Things. I’ve always known Vodafone as a challenger brand and found it very aligned with Makers in that sense.
We’re both exploring the possibilities that technology can bring, we’re both helping the UK expand its pipeline of digital talent and we’re both advancing the UK as a digital leader.
Before the speeches, I got to look around the exhibit.
My fave (besides the VR goggles above) was the cow. Yes, the cow. Not just any cow — the mascot for MooCall, which Vodafone IoT have worked closely with in order to connect overworked, stress-ridden farmers to their animals.
