Join us at the upcoming 2021 ANZ DX Summit and Future Enterprise Awards on October 14th.

In 2020 alone, our region delivered years' worth of DX initiatives in a span of a few months. Organizations and their CEOs have refashioned their digital agendas, shaping the new face of DX and entering the era of the future enterprise. Amid uncertainty, our region's digital makeover has proved agile and resilient. But the journey to becoming a future enterprise is no longer an aspiration but a foregone conclusion.

Organisations now must:

  • Build their digital foundations to empower their businesses and employees.
  • Be quick to learn, staying connected to their ecosystems to continuously deliver value and relevance in the digital era.
  • Be empowered by empathy and trust to present innovative and responsive experiences to their customers who now live in a changed world.


At this year's DX Summit hear from organisation addressing new customer requirements, developing new capabilities, and building digital infrastructures that support resilient operations and pervasive experiences in the new digital economy.

The Future Enterprise Awards, previously known as DX Awards, continues to seek out the best DX projects in ANZ and the Asia Pacific region. You will get the opportunity to hear the ANZ region's 2021 winners announcement at the conclusion of the Summit.

Prabhitha Sheethal Dcruz

Research Manager, IDC Asia/Pacific

More than 65% of high-performing companies are now focused on driving innovations. Innovation gives opportunities to technology leaders in 3 areas - resilience, pioneering break-through, and improving the bottom line. But organisation silos amplify the skills gap in innovation. What if there were solutions to engage with all these gaps we’re seeing? Organizations have a lot of good reasons to invest in upskilling and reskilling their existing workforce – and those that do are reaping big rewards. Join this session to know how.

Digital Roundtables

The Digital Roundtables provide a structured and informal environment to discuss and debate topical issues, in a small group hosted by a senior IDC analyst and facilitated by a technology expert. Participants are limited to a maximum of 10 participants per table and delegates will be registered on a first come first served basis prior to the summit.

Digital Roundtable Topics:

Cloud infrastructure plays a key role in operational resiliency and was recognised by ANZ businesses as a critical component to businesses moving towards future enterprise resiliency during the pandemic. The key is to link it to other areas of resiliency - workforce, brand/trust, information, customers/ecosystem and financial resilience. In this roundtable John Welsh, Account Architect at Rackspace and Louise Francis, Research Director ANZ and Country Manager NZ at IDC will discuss the role cloud infrastructure plays in building a resilient organisation.
