Tech Monitor Roundtable: AI, Cloud, and the Data Centre: The Future of IT in an Age of Uncertainty


Wednesday, 02nd Jul 2025

Tech Monitor’s Roundtable: AI, Cloud, and the Data Centre: The Future of IT in an Age of Uncertainty in partnership with AMD, taking place in Munich on the 2nd July 2025.  

In an era of change – where technological opportunity and geopolitical volatility coexist – the role of the senior IT decision maker is being tested like never before. This is a time of reinvention, most likely to be powered by artificial intelligence (AI). It is also a time of reassessment, where data sovereignty is dictating decisions about digital infrastructure.

To help make sense of the current environment, and to share best practice, Tech Monitor and AMD are inviting a select group of IT executives to a special evening of discussion and exploration. This roundtable dinner is part of a series of events taking place across Europe and the Middle East that put technology practitioners at the heart of the conversation.

During the evening we will explore the obstacles to success and the paths to accomplishment. We will discuss plans for AI, and how organisations intend to underpin experimentation and adoption with the necessary compute power. We will seek to understand what the future of cloud computing looks like and ask whether repatriation to the data centre is now the dominant trend. And we’ll set our discussion against a geopolitical backdrop that is prompting senior leaders to reassess their options.

Among the topics we’ll discuss:

Exploring the extent and limits of AI / GenAI

Managing AI workloads on premise and in the cloud

Overcoming regulatory obstacles

Rethinking cloud computing: The merits of hybrid and multicloud

Data privacy, sovereignty, and resilience

Cost-realisation, TCO and ROI

 

Do join us for what promises to be an engaging and insightful evening in the company of subject matter experts and your peers from a range of industries.

Please note: this event will be conducted in English.
