IRIS Live: why attend and what to expect

There’s only one virtual event you need to attend this year and it’s IRIS Live; here’s why. 

Chances are, you’ve been invited to quite a few webinars over recent months, promising to tell you everything you need to know to come out of the pandemic fighting fit and confident for the future. 

However, with no end to the pandemic in sight, no one webinar can ensure sustainability in our ‘next normal’ for your business. There is, however, IRIS Live: the virtual event of the year for HR, Payroll and finance professionals seeking to adapt to an ever-changing world. 

What sets IRIS Live apart from other events?  

The answer is simple. IRIS exists to simplify the lives of business leaders. Our software, solutions and services are designed to enhance your operational compliance, efficiency and accuracy - all the things you need to get right first time, every time, particularly during periods of economic instability. 

Supporting organisations across these business-critical areas is what IRIS is about. Between 16^th and 20^th November, IRIS Live will bring the latest news, information and strategic advice from across your sector, enabling you to overcome the challenges facing your business today and in the future. 

With a jam-packed agenda of hour-long webinars hosted by guest speakers and professionals from across the business world, attendees to IRIS Live can pick and choose those webinars which most appeal to them. 

CPD accredited, IRIS Live will leave no stone unturned as we investigate the ways in which professionals and industry leaders are navigating the next normal and starting to look forward with confidence.
