Keynote Presentation 
2020 Focus: The People
Successful IT executives focus on the people. Leaders need to become more of a trusted advisor. It's important for IT executives to partner with UX, HR and employee experience teams to aid with the shift in workforce dynamics, like emerging technologies or AI interactions.
Key Takeaways:- IT executives need to focus on software user
- Employee training is critical to software success
- Leadership should be as fluent in new technology as end-users

Keeping Pace with Innovation, Chronologically and Economically
Today's digital evolution will take major enterprises twice as long and cost twice as much as initially anticipated. They will likely struggle with digital innovation as they realize the associated challenges and costs within modernization. As such, smaller and more agile organizations have a great opportunity to be first to market, while larger organizations suffer through uninspiring immediate benefits.
Takeaways:
- Digital innovation is not cheap or quick
- How can your organization best plan for implementation?
- Smaller organizations tend to have an easier time testing out new technology

COVID-19 and the Future of Work Security: Is Remote Work Really Secure?
Just how prepared are businesses for the security implications of widespread telecommuting? Wrike's 2020 Remote Work Security Survey sought to gain insight into how companies are reacting to the shift in work style, as well as how employees are responding - both to the strategic and situational changes - since making the shift to remote work.
In this session, we'll talk about what security strategies employers are using, how employees have reacted to these strategies, how different generations have reacted and the key areas in which security can be future-proofed

Hyper-personalization: Using AI to Drive the Bottom Line
How organizations connect with and influence the customer is set for dramatic changes: AI identification of emotions will be the driving force behind many advertisements; the rise in popularity of wearables that track user's habits, locations and biometrics will enable detection of customer emotions and reactions; environmental and behavior indicators enable companies to establish a much deeper level of hyper-personalization within the customer's experience. Companies that successfully apply these trends to gather and make use of data will increase sales and drive revenue, but there is a new industry standard for also being hyper-transparent with consumers about the data that is being collected and how it is being used.
Takeaways:
- How AI has become a critical part of the advertising industry
- How emotional prediction technology will help companies hyper-personalize their offerings
- What companies need to consider to succeed in balancing hyper-personalization with being more transparent about data collection

Designing the Digital Workplace
Employees are consumers of digital technologies such as IoT, AR and VR. The plethora of mobile devices has enabled them to work where they want and when they want which has raised the bar on employee expectations for tools and capabilities from their employers. In order for companies to retain the best and get the most out of their employees, it is vital to design and continually update the digital workplace. We will discuss the current trends as well as share case studies of successful digital workplace implementations.
Takeaways:
- Highly skilled employees will demand a mobile and efficient workplace
- Keeping these skilled employees fully engaged and passionate about your company is critical to achieving the desired digital transformation

Accelerating Transformation Through Crisis
In this interactive presentation we will explore how crisis like COVID-19 can help to accelerate transformation. Drawing on real-world examples from Wiley as well as other companies across multiple industries we will look at short- and long-term transformation opportunities. This talk will also draw on the experience of remote-first companies to examine the future of work in a post-COVID world.
Key takeaways:
- Learn from other companies about how they have responded to the COVID-19 crisis. Key challenges and how they were addressed.
- Look at how crisis such as COVID-19 can accelerate transformation.
- Examine learnings from remote-first companies to envision options for the future of the workplace.

Data 2020, Fueling AI
This year will offer a wake-up call for many, as the overall cost of getting data wrong will be realized. Chief Data and Analytics Officers (CDAOs) and CIOs focusing on AI will rest assured knowing their teams have what they need when it comes to data. One of the major obstacles is sourcing data from a complex portfolio of applications and convincing gatekeepers to say yes. Effectively using intelligent automation will require compelling efforts in data cleansing, integration, and management that IT will need to support. Correcting previous data issues in legacy systems can be a considerable hurdle to leap, especially for larger enterprises. Top organizations will increase, and possibly double, their data strategy budget.
- Mishandling data comes at a huge financial cost
- AI offers more predictable means of safeguarding data
- IT teams will need to be effective at cleaning and organizing data

How Deep and Shallow Learning Can Work Together to Create Cost Savings
Applying artificial intelligence to patient data enables efficiencies and better outcomes for its Medicaid patients. For all the hype and excited pronouncements about the impacts it can have driving healthcare efficiencies, artificial intelligence is still not deployed as widely (or wisely) as it could be. But many health systems are working in earnest to roll out AI-driven analytics projects even if their particular payoff isn't quite yet in sight with the understanding that the technology is evolving at a dizzying pace, and big improvements could be just around the corner.
Takeaways:
- Potential for AI and machine learning for better population health outcomes
- Utilising shallow learning gain similarly useful insights from smaller data sets with less heavy lifting than we are using with deep learning
- Predicting hospitalisation, emergency room use, or predicting high-cost patients versus low-cost patients
- Predicting the risk for the populations we are managing.

Executive Boardroom 
The Internet of Things (IoT) Meets the Internet of Behaviors (IoB)
We are approaching a point where individual activities tracked by IoT devices and systems will be recorded digitally by an ?Internet of Behavior? (IoB) to influence benefits and service eligibility for people across the world. The idea behind IoB is to be able to digitally link a person with their actions. For example, connecting your identity by way of facial recognition with an activity such as renting a car will be tracked digitally. In addition, IoB will also be used to influence specific behaviors. For example, Progressive's Snapshot and Allstate's Drivewise offerings monitor and record a driver's behaviors and in turn offer higher or lower rates based upon those behaviors. However, there have been concerns raised over the ethical implications of spreading this technology to social services (i.e. schools or assisting living) attempting to compensate or discipline certain behaviors.
Takeaways
- The internet of behaviors is a digital replication of consumers' actions
- Facial recognition software will be used for everyday verification
- There are many concerns regarding the ethics of IoB, are they valid?
Executive Boardroom
The Expansion of Blockchain
Blockchain technologies are being used today by organizations across all industries around the world. AIG has deployed blockchain technologies as a means of saving costs and increasing transparency, while De Beers is using it to track the importation and sale of diamonds. Next on the list: content authentication. Outside of legitimate news, technology is being used to generate believable fake audio and video. Fake news has been around forever, but the rise of social media has brought forth social media bots that have greatly accelerated the rate at which fake news is spread. Organizations and governments can use blockchain technology to authenticate content and counter against deep fake technology. By doing so, an unchangeable and shared record of content is created that is viewable to consumers.
Takeaways
- Blockchain technology has countless applications
- Can blockchain be deployed to combat deep fake video and audio content?
- Demystify blockchain and how to implement it Keeping Pace with Innovation, Chronologically and Economically
