Editor's Note

The elephant in the room in ICT is often not the tech - which is why we're excited about our latest Pipeline 2026 speaker announcement. 

David Beal, Senior Advisor at Australian ICT and digital advisory IBRS, will speak at Pipeline 2026 on 6 May on Hamilton Island about the shift he’s seeing in clients' partner needs - in ways that go far beyond the technology.

After a year of outages and data breaches, Beal sees organisations questioning ICT partnerships.

He's an independent voice and will lay out what he's learned about this first-hand from clients in multiple industries and what this means for your client relationships.
