40th Anniversary Conference - Business Transformation
 |
All of the IT industry's key figures were in attendance at NCC's 40th Anniversary Conference and Gala Dinner in London. |
Pride
of place went to Tony Benn, who as Minister for Technology back 1965 proposed
the creation of a national centre to promote the more effective use of
information technology and created the National Computing Centre the following
year. Tony, who was presented with a special gift from NCC’s Chief
Executive Officer Michael Gough, entertained the delegates with amusing
anecdotes about the early days of IT.
Tony was followed by Stephen Timms MP, Chief Secretary to the Treasury who spoke about today’s global challenges, re-affirming NCC’s crucial role in supporting the growth of UK business. Impressionist Rory Bremner was not short of appropriate subject matter when he took to the stage afterwards to entertain the audience – which he did in grand style!
