Building community by connecting the world
One of the largest impediments to success is lack of access to resources that enable learning, dreaming and growth. Hear as a strategic leader shares how resources include much more than the necessary and obvious technology needed to connect people to resources, but also the criticality of access to diverse skillsets, backgrounds and role models.
Cassian Harrison (Channel Editor, BBC Four)
Increasingly sophisticated algorithms have led to artificial intelligence that can master speech recognition, banking, medical diagnoses, deep data mining, and, famously, chess. But what happens when a bot tries to rap, write a novel, paint a picture or design a logo? We explore the types of emotional and creative intelligence that have eluded AI—and see when the machines might catch up.

David Cappuccio (Distinguished Analyst, Gartner)
Marina Fahim (VP, Product Management in Cyber Tech at JP Morgan)
The future of IT will not be on-premises, in the cloud, in IoT or at the edge. But rather IT will transform into a combination of all of these. Rather than being defined by the technology, it will be driven by business outcomes. This transformation of IT infrastructures must evolve to support workload deployments at the right time, on the right provider, at the right cost, anywhere in the world, quickly. This session will discuss trends and best practices for ensuring your IT environment is fit for purpose.
