IT Pro 20/20: The tech of 2023
The technology, policies, and markets likely to shape IT decision-making in the year ahead

Welcome to issue 33 of IT Pro 20/20, distilling the most important themes of the previous month into a simple, easy-to-read package.
For our first issue of the year, we’ve taken a deep dive into the most compelling industry trends for 2023. From the generative AI powering a whole lot more than just ChatGPT, to the freshest face in the C-suite, there’s plenty for technologists to grasp ahead of what looks to be another whirlwind year for the tech sector.
We’ll also look at E-Ink and why, after 50 years, it’s only now starting to truly take off, plus why blockbuster mergers and acquisitions could soon be a distant memory.
The next IT Pro 20/20 will be available in March – previous issues can be found here. If you would like to receive each issue in your inbox as they release, you can subscribe to our mailing list here.
