CMS hosted its annual Technology, Media and Communications (TMC) conference in London on the 25 November. As recent news headlines drive home, our interconnected world brings so many benefits, but poses many challenges, to the way businesses operate. The regulators are tougher, innovation is increasing at a pace we never imagined even just a few years ago, and business models are evolving to match this. Watch videos of the panel sessions here.
