The conference follows last month’s Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo 2023 in Gold Coast, Australia.
This year’s theme, Unleash Possibility, centers around Gartner’s efforts to highlight how businesses can harness the rapid transformation in the technology sector and create value for themselves and their clients. “From responsibly harnessing the promise of generative AI, to securely opening new pathways for growth, to creating a culture of innovation that provides value for employees, customers, and citizens — the possibilities are wide open,” Gartner said.
Expect industry insights into the latest tech trends in more than 300 sessions carried out over four days by ~180 solution providers and nearly 140 Gartner experts. The sessions are divided into three tracks: Future Directions, Strategies for Success, and Critical Execution, which cover a broad range of topics, including artificial intelligence; cloud, infrastructure, and operations; cybersecurity, data and analytics, future of work; and more.
The Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo 2023 in Orlando also features tech insights and content dedicated to various industries that can drive IT investment and leverage innovation to disrupt existing practices and forge a trailblazing path. It includes one-on-one meetings with a Gartner expert, engaging in roundtable sessions, and more.
