INSIGHTS 2023 AWARDS & SYMPOSIUM
Accelerate & Automate Everything with the Power of Data, AI / ML, Cloud & InfoSec
The old way of working is over and has given way to new approach. The pandemic has made it crystal clear. In order to stay competitive, companies need to transform to a special normal. You’re at the forefront of this technology transformation which can be driven by three major shifts: modernization of critical workloads, the orchestration of applications flexibly across environments, and the growing use of operational AI and edge applications -- be it Cloud, AI/ML, Automation, Cybersecurity or game-changing technology.
Leading companies are aligning their business transformation efforts with the adoption of cloud platforms. This next-gen business model helps organizations become more agile and adaptable --which could also be a top priority within the post-pandemic environment. The future of your business rides on the decisions you’re making today, leveraging Data, Cloud, AI & ML, Automation, Security to create entirely new client experiences, adapt at speed, and reinvent industry business models.
During the summit, the latest developments in cutting-edge technologies -- Data, Cloud, AI & ML, Automation, Security -- are shared in inspiring keynotes, panel discussions, fireside chat sessions with experts, demos and more. Hear from the power-packed line of national and international speakers to discover new ideas and new possibilities at the INSIGHTS 2023 AWARDS & SYMPOSIUM who will share strategies and key technologies that help organisations adapt, strengthen and operate in today’s environment, with the goal of accelerating and boosting business.
Along with INSIGHTS 2023 AWARDS & SYMPOSIUM, we’re going to hold an annual awards ceremony (Data Doyens / AI Icons / Cloud Champs / ML Mavens / Cyber Warriors) where the leading CXO are felicitated by well-known industry luminaries. This year, in August, we will be holding the award function on a very interactive virtual platform.
The awards will be preceded by a multitude of knowledge-packed sessions to trigger thought-leading innovations to bring India's 800+ CDOs, CIOs, CTOs, CROs, CISOs, IT Heads, IT VPs, IT leaders and managers from private, public and govt organizations and global IT experts under one roof to discuss various information security threats and best-possible effective intelligent solutions available.
