Gigaom Change is a summit of business leaders that is designed to connect 300+ innovative minds with 20+ global experts who are at the forefront of the biggest technological advances set to change everything.
To optimize your experience (and eliminate cognitive pain …aka FOMO), we’ve planned a single track series of speaker highlights and thoughtful panels covering a diverse range of industries and perspectives. There will be time for a few breakout sessions where we deepen our collective understanding and take part in an open exchange of ideas that will accelerate our connections among this forward-thinking group. For the tactile learners among us, there will also be plenty of opportunities to explore interactive demo’s.
We have very intentionally created a structure around each of the 7 key technologies that will explore what’s happening today, what’s coming next, and as we look to the future what we need to know to begin confidently applying these ideas. You’ll emerge with an understanding of how to navigate the complexities of the new technological normal and the many opportunities that exist for your business to level-up and tap into the vast potential within these technologies.
To help you plan your time, here is a broad overview of what to expect as we kick off on Wednesday September 21st.
