Track Themes

Drive Growth With Customer Obsession
In times of continual uncertainty and change companies must navigate a complex environment with shifting market dynamics, empowered digital consumers, and business buyers who are hungry for new things. Outdated, short-term growth strategies that focus on simply extracting value from customers will fail. This track will explore the key steps Tech Executives need to take now to align internal operations that fuel a customer-obsessed growth engine designed to grow revenue, profit, and customer retention efficiently and consistently. In particular, we will outline how Tech Executives will center their strategy on customer value, architecture and application teams must deliver with speed and creativity, and security teams must protect the brand — all while working in lockstep with the aligned priorities of customer-facing teams like marketing, sales, and customer experience to drive growth.

Lead Through Sustainability And Resilience
Organizations are prioritizing more than just their bottom-line profit motive and are considering the impact their operations have on the environment and how environmental changes impact the resilience of their operations. Join this track to learn about how building environmental sustainability into your technology organization can become a competitive advantage for your business, increase business resilience, reduce the environmental impact of your business, and help you win and retain customers.

Adapt By Overcoming Silos And Nurturing Talent
As companies seek to improve business results and become adaptive and resilient to the tumultuous market, they must leverage technology as a key enabler for change. However, just leveraging technology won’t cut it. To enable sustainable growth, companies must also break their own silos and collaborate for success. Throughout this track, we’ll explore how to overcome silos for higher effectiveness and sustainable growth. There is also a lot to learn from Gen Z as they are natural born silo breakers.

Accelerate With Modern Software And Cloud
Building engaging digital experiences and modern software as an expression of business processes, policies, and practices that align with continual change. Moving from static application silos towards distributed micro-services and platform-oriented business apps, which run on cloud and/or on edge, is a key first step along the journey. Artificial Intelligence meanwhile evolves to become a disruptive force to help companies move faster. Join this track to learn more about the latest and greatest modern transformation tools and gain insights into the best practices from leading players across different industries.

Differentiate With Emerging Technology And Innovation
Emerging technologies have been reshaping how companies do business, and what digital experiences they deliver to their customers (business and consumer alike). Companies are also keen to innovate, in order not to be left behind in what’s become an ever faster-moving environment. At the same time, innovation doesn’t have to revolve around emerging tech. And of course, any new technology immediately starts building up tech debt. In this track, we aim to help attendees navigate this evolving technology landscape and provide guidance on how to separate marketing promises and vaporware from technologies that can deliver true value.
