Directions 2010
Capitalizing on the Recovery:Building the Foundation for the Intelligent Economy
March 4, 2010 ● Sheraton Boston Hotel ● Boston, Massachusetts
March 10, 2010 ● Santa Clara Convention Center ● Santa Clara, California
Recent economic conditions have brought near-death experiences for many of the industries' largest players, exposing massive inefficiency, dangerously poor visibility and transparency, and a painfully slow ability to innovate and adapt. As the world slowly recovers from recession, it's no surprise that almost every industry is poised for significant - and, in many cases, long overdue - restructuring and transformation. A common element of industry transformation and revitalization is a deeper embedding and leverage of ICT to foster an intelligent economy, greatly improve growth and efficiency, and stave off future crises.
Join us as we share IDC's research and perspectives on the IT-driven revitalization of industries and markets, and the ICT industry's unique position for strong, sustained growth over the next decade. Given the sea changes in the global economy, returning to "business as usual" will be a very poor strategic choice for leading ICT suppliers.
Agenda
This year's agenda features four IDC executive keynotes, as well as direct one-to-one meeting opportunities with analysts, numerous breakouts, breakfast sessions, lunch roundtables, and more.
