Today, once again, we find ourselves in a place where we have been many times before: the end of a pandemic, the end of a recession and the start of an era of business recovery and returning to business growth. However, past recovery and return to growth periods provide little assistance in helping us chart a “2021 and beyond” recovery course. In the past, all we had to do was rebuild our damaged businesses so they could once again operate in the familiar market and economic conditions prevailing prior to a recession or pandemic. But in 2021 we are heading into a type of recovery and return to growth period Unlike anything we have seen before. Today, we must learn how to plan, recover and grow in the awaiting Digital Economy of the future.
Change is coming in the form of ones and zeros. As of today, dozens of nations have already published their strategic plans for building a “Digital Economy”. Government officials around the world are currently preparing for the day when they will regularly report on their “digital’s sector’s” size and contributions to their nation’s economic growth. Regulators are ironing out details on how “digital” will be measured.
This keynote will explain what a digital economy is and will outline the challenges company executives must overcome to successfully operate in a digital economy. We will also present a new set of methodologies that CIOs can use to make their companies “digital economy ready”.
What are some questions we are going to answer within this keynote?

It is difficult for IT to focus on driving innovation when 70% of your budget and time is spent Keeping The Lights On. In this session, you’ll learn how you can transform your IT infrastructure with a cloud smart strategy – placing the right workloads on the right cloud whether on-premises private, public, or multi-cloud. We’ll also discuss how to use a financial analysis framework both to evaluate alternative solutions as well as how to build a compelling business case to achieve the funding to deploy the technologies that make sense.
Modernizing IT starts with deploying an efficient, agile hybrid cloud architecture – but this is easier said than done. Legacy status quo bias alongside a frequently imprecise public cloud strategy lead to lengthy and costly migration journeys.
Which applications should be in public, and which in private cloud? This roundtable discussion is a great opportunity to learn what type of challenges and opportunities your peers have encountered in their IT modernization journeys.

Organizations have been moving to the cloud for several years now, but in the last year, our world has forced nearly everyone to leverage the scalability and speed of cloud platforms to support a remote workforce. With so many critical business functions running from these providers, it’s imperative to protect our data, systems and assets. But traditional strategies struggle to keep up with the scope and scale of the modern cloud environment, which is forcing a change in how we approach our security assessments and mitigation techniques. In this presentation, we’ll discuss the benefits and challenges presented to many organizations by the sudden move to cloud-based services and a newly remote workforce focused on business continuity, not security. We’ll also talk about some of the new ways we must evolve how we approach security and our internal programs to better align with the fast-paced and ever-changing nature of cloud services and assets and protect our organizations effectively, efficiently and at the speed required by today’s modern attack surface.
