Visibility to Value: IT Asset Management, Procurement, FinOps & Service Management Summit 2026

Join us on Tuesday 14th July at TOGETHER, 88 Wood Street, Barbican for the Bytes IT Asset Management, Procurement, FinOps & Service Management Summit 2026 - our flagship annual gathering - now reimagined under a bold new theme: Visibility to Value. Hosted by Bytes and Flexera alongside an exceptional line-up of partners, this year’s summit is all about turning technology visibility into decisions, action and measurable outcomes across ITAM, FinOps, Procurement, Service Management (CMDB/CSDM) and Security.
 

One Room. Infinite Momentum. 
In 2025, we came together to break down silos.
In 2026, we go further - translating alignment into real impact.
 

Clearer decisions. Stronger governance. Reduced complexity. Optimised cost. Lower risk. Real, measurable value. This is what 'Visibility to Value' delivers. At this year’s summit, you’ll see how connected leadership and trusted, normalised data power joined‑up decision‑making across IT Asset Management, FinOps, Procurement, Service Management and Security - turning visibility into results across the full technology lifecycle.

Through executive keynotes and focused breakouts, discover how leading organisations connect data, governance and strategy to simplify estates, sharpen spend and unlock tangible value. Whether you’re scaling fast or operating at enterprise scale, our experts will share proven approaches to strengthen governance, improve commercial outcomes, streamline operations and reduce risk.
