The world’s leading technologists from over 30 industries gathered in London this week for our first-ever LIVE Europe event.

With partners like Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure and AWS in the Exchange, and no shortage of thought leadership from speakers, including futurist Ben Hammersley, AI guru Ivana Bartoletti, Shell’s VP of IT Integration Lyne Germain and our own CEO and founder Aaron Skonnard, Pluralsight LIVE Europe was a whirlwind of jam-packed breakout sessions, thought-provoking panel discussions and inspiring keynotes.
