After four long days of meetings, presentations, expos and skills sessions, IBM's annual Pulse conference came to a close with a bang, as the technology giant put on a 1960s-style dance night for delegates.

The DJ gave way to a disco cover band, creatively titled Sinner and the Superfreaks. They were introduced to delegates as "the hottest band in Vegas".

The event came complete with professional dancers to show delegates how it was done (or how it used to be done).
