SYDNEY, Sept. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Forrester (Nasdaq: FORR) today announced the full conference agenda for Technology & Innovation APAC, being held in Sydney, Australia, and digitally, October 31–November 1, 2023. To succeed in today's volatile business environment, leaders need to anticipate the future needs of customers and leverage technology to identify, capture, and grow value. According to Forrester, companies grow faster when their technology strategy fully aligns with the business priorities that drive customer value. Additionally, leaders must use this moment to proactively explore emerging technologies such as generative AI to augment existing business practices in ways that were previously impossible.

Using Forrester's latest research, insights, tools, and frameworks, this year's Technology & Innovation APAC will empower chief information officers, chief technology officers, chief digital officers, and other technology leaders to formulate and execute a technology strategy best suited to fuel business growth. Forrester will also honor Dr. Reddy's Laboratories and Union Bank of the Philippines (UnionBank) as the winners of its Technology Strategy Impact Award and Enterprise Architecture Award, respectively, for Asia Pacific. The awards recognize both organizations for executing technology strategies that are outcome-driven and customer-obsessed to accelerate business growth.

Technology & Innovation APAC will also feature leading Forrester and industry thought leaders such as Aboitiz Equity Ventures CISO Charmaine Valmonte, Australia National AI Centre Director Stela Solar, Australia eSafety Technology and Strategy Group General Manager Kathryn King, and Forrester Founder and CEO George F. Colony, who will open the event with "The GenAI Imperative."

  • Technology's Vital Role In The Customer-Obsessed Growth Engine. This keynote session will discuss how technology can power growth through collaboration between technology leaders and their marketing, digital, sales, product, and customer experience colleagues.
  • Reflecting On Australia's AI Ecosystem Momentum. As the pace of AI-driven change accelerates, this keynote will highlight how business and technology leaders can develop and deploy responsible AI solutions to maximize opportunities while mitigating risks.
