SUMMIT Overview

Enterprise Transformation in 2021

Enterprise organizations must continuously evolve and adapt to meet the future of work requirements that the industry and, most importantly, the customers are demanding. Enterprise automation, building new and interactive customer experiences with enterprise software and applications, embracing mobility solutions for dynamic and optimized operations, becoming lean and more agile organizations, and leveraging advanced technology as well as emerging IT solutions will be key to remaining competitive and relevant in today’s fast-paced 5G economy.

The workforce of the future will increasingly be distributed, and intelligent machines and humans will be working together to build the next-generation enterprise. 5G and edge computing will further boost connectivity, critical communications, digital experiences, and new business and government applications yet to be identified. In addition, the automation and connectivity of machines, people, logistics, vehicles and other enterprise assets pushes data storage, intelligence, and management to new levels that even the most savvy companies will need to become well versed around. Lastly, our industry experts expect that traditional talent sourcing models will evolve and move toward a quicker, virtual, borderless, and task-oriented approach. The workforce of the future will see augmented humans and machines collaborating and transforming the nature of work and thus enhancing the enterprise to agile applications and technology.

ETx: The 5G and Edge Summit has many avenues for our attendees to gain insight into how these investments will improve their overall digital strategy. Key aspects include:

Keynotes, Fireside Chats, Panels and General Sessions:

ET Exchange keeps things simple by having only one conference track to focus on. Attendees will sit in on a variety of sessions covering the latest topics, industry news and respected insights from leading solution providers, industry experts and end user executives.

Case Study Boardroom Sessions:

These highly interactive sessions presented by solution providers to an intimate group of executives give an inside perspective on the implementation and strategy of an actual customer use case. These sessions not only provide the vendors with feedback on end user wants/needs, but also promote candid discussions for end users to gain perspective from their peers within various industries.

1:1 Meetings:

Our 1:1 Meeting Zone allows our end user attendees, solution providers, and industry experts the perfect opportunity to connect with one another for 20 minute face-to-face meetings, which makes sourcing solutions painless for our executive attendees and makes connecting with prospective clientele cost-effective for our sponsors. Respected industry analysts and experts will also be present to discuss your needs and to help you move your own digital strategy forward.

Connections can be made at a traditional trade show, but with our unique format, lasting relationships are forged through a multitude of networking opportunities.
