Digital Event | November 4, 2020
Nothing could have prepared the world for the unprecedented chain of events over the past months.
We prefaced 2020 saying anything is possible, but no one saw this level of hypervolatility completely disrupting business and life as we know it. Our own research confirms that recent events have accelerated global digital transformation by over two years. While we used to say "transform or be left behind" in past iterations of our annual Predictions event, in our new reality, the call is transform, or risk complete closure.
As a technology partner to your customers, your role in helping organizations transform will be more important than ever. Those who have made early inlays into DX are acclimatizing well in this changed world. But the horizon that awaits will separate market leaders from everyone else based on which organizations are able to build business resiliency: the ability to adapt to changing circumstances while maintaining their central purpose.
Back for another year, we unveil our top ICT predictions through the IDC Asia/Pacific FutureScape event, offering 5-year guidance on the roadmap to becoming the Future Enterprise: the gold standard of a digitally-transformed organization navigating and creating their own new realities in a changed world. In its first virtual staging, IDC FutureScape 2021 will be unlike any other; a must-attend for technology vendors looking to empower their customers to make the right decisions, investments, and partnerships in order to lead in the Next Normal.
Previously an exclusive, by-invitation event, this year's virtual staging of IDC FutureScape has allowed us to open up our conference to a wider audience. After all, in a discussion about the future — of your organization, of the economy, and how business and ways of doing business will change — all stakeholders should speak up. Everyone who plays a direct role in determining the future of their organization is welcome to participate in IDC Asia/Pacific FutureScape 2021.
A core digital capability, resilience is a must for enterprises to respond to and survive fast-changing market conditions. Explore these five benefits of resilient operations for your organization.

Each year, IDC releases its Top 10 Predictions to give a crystal ball view of what’s ahead for the rapidly-changing ICT industry.
These predictions have been used to shape the DX strategies and business objectives of technology vendors, with an 80% average in accuracy since our first Predictions event in 2007. The annual in-person launch in Asia/Pacific brings together close to 300 senior and top management executives from the region's leading, most innovative organizations. With a virtual staging for this year, we are opening IDC FutureScape 2021 to a much wider audience, bridging previous geographical limitations. This year’s event will be a preview of the emerging Next Normal in business, technology, and other areas where the two intersect – creating a new breed of digital leaders.
Apart from the highly-anticipated keynote from IDC Asia/Pacific Group VP Sandra Ng, FutureScape will have guest luminaries to illustrate Next Normal scenarios in the context of their business, and what technologies will enable them to make these scenarios happen.
