Event
Cloud, AI, and a Conversation with Our CEO
Date & Time
Thursday, March 19, 2026
2:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Location:
We’re hosting a private, invite-only briefing for a small group of our most valued customers across the North and Midlands.
This session brings together three things we know are top of mind right now:
• Making sense of cloud spend and regaining control
• Understanding where AI is genuinely delivering value today
• How do we reduce risk without slowing the business down?
Alongside this, you’ll also hear directly from Russell Brown, recently appointed UK CEO at SCC. Russell will share his perspective on where SCC is heading next, how we’re evolving as a partner, and what this next phase of growth means for our customers.
What we’ll cover
Why Cloud Got Expensive (and How Smart Firms Are Fixing It: How cloud costs crept up, why hybrid has become the sensible default, and how organisations are regaining control without slowing innovation.
AI That Actually Gets Used: Where AI is already delivering value, how to move forward safely without adding complexity, and why strong data foundations matter more than the tools themselves.
A Conversation with SCC’s UK CEO: Russell Brown shares SCC’s direction, priorities, and how we’re working differently with customers as we grow.
Who this is for
This briefing is for senior IT leaders and technology decision makers who are pragmatic, value-drivenand, allergic to buzzwords. We encourage you to bring a colleague where that would make the discussion more valuable.
What you’ll leave with:
• Clearer thinking around cloud spend and control
• A realistic view of AI’s role in your organisation
• Better context on SCC’s direction and leadership
• Practical insight you can take straight back to the business
