Data#3 played host to over 2,000 customers across three Australian cities in February and March as it brought its JuiceIT roadshow to Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide.

The theme of the event, “Next is Now,” focused on the momentum of technological progress, particularly the rise of AI and its potential.

“The event emphasised the importance of companies simplifying, streamlining and innovating their tech landscape while prioritising robust security measures,” said Data#3's CMO Garrett MacDonald.

“It was fantastic to meet with our customers, partners and staff face-to-face in this forum and we look forward to doing it again next year.”

Each event featured a keynote speech from Gus Balbontin, former executive director and CTO of Lonely Planet, who shared  insights on adaptability, transformation and innovation for businesses facing massive digital change.

Attendees had the opportunity to choose from 25 breakout sessions delivered by thought leaders covering topics including AI, security and sustainability.

“JuiceIT provided a platform for attendees to challenge conventional thinking, question the status quo and embrace new ideas,” said Data#3 Chief Customer Officer, John Tan.

“They had the opportunity to connect directly with 30 world-leading technology vendors and partners, including platinum sponsor, Microsoft and diamond sponsor, Cisco.”

JuiceIT will next take place in Canberra, Hobart and Melbourne later in 2024.
