Interop London will include a dedicated Interop theatre delivering professional education surrounding issues facing businesses and professionals including network infrastructure, enterprise mobility, cloud computing, storage and security.

"Interop is one of UBM's leading global event brands and we're delighted to incorporate it into Internet World 2014," said Nathalie Davies, Event Manager at Internet World.
"The Interop theme of 'IT Leads, Business Succeeds' is completely inline with the message we're hearing from our audience and clients. Businesses are seeing IT and marketing roles increasingly converge towards one another, meaning that an increased IT focus for Internet World can only enhance it's existing marketing content."
Internet World launched The Big Data Show in 2013 and announced a move to ExCeL London for 2014. Internet World, including The Big Data Show and Interop London, will also be part of London Technology Week, an initiative run with London & Partners which will bring together numerous tech focused events in the UK's capital between June 16th and 20th next year.
