The Digital Business Impact of AI Everywhere

IDC Directions

Estoril, Portugal

Join Us at IDC Directions® 2024

The ICT industry is at a pivotal moment. We have never seen a technology emerge that creates so much “buzz,” gains executive support, achieves defined commercial outcomes, and experiences such rapid user adoption. The swift adoption of Generative AI is transforming AI from an "embryonic" software element to a core technology at the heart of organizations.

In this context, the theme of IDC Directions® 2024 is "AI Everywhere," and the event will take place on October 2 and 3 at the Estoril Congress Center. We will explore the impact of Digital and AI in three main categories:

  • Productivity Gains: AI as a catalyst for revitalizing automation initiatives, from IT operations to software development and business processes.
  • Engaging Experiences: Enhancing unique experiences for employees, customers, partners, and suppliers through applications incorporating artificial intelligence.
  • New Revenue Streams: Accelerating growth through AI-enabled business models.
Overview

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming the primary focus of technological investments for organizations globally. The integration of AI across various sectors—whether in data, applications, business processes, or IT operations—emerges as a fundamental pillar, often driven by companies' innovation and strategy departments.

The inability to efficiently implement and scale AI solutions can lead to missed opportunities and, in extreme cases, the inability to remain competitive in a rapidly evolving market. This scenario can result in the loss of operational efficiency and revenue growth. Consequently, organizations worldwide are prioritizing and expanding their investments in AI to ensure they harness its potential to transform operations, create innovative experiences, and open new revenue streams.


At IDC Directions® 2024, we will explore how "AI Everywhere" is redefining the business landscape, focusing on productivity, engaging experiences, and revenue generation through AI-enabled business models. Join us to discover how your organization can navigate this transition and capitalize on the measurable impact AI offers.

Why Attend?

This event offers cutting-edge insights into AI trends and strategies directly from industry experts. It is a unique opportunity to learn how to effectively apply AI, optimizing both infrastructure and business models.

Additionally, it provides a valuable chance to connect with other professionals and thought leaders, fostering a rich networking environment. You will discover how to quantify the impact of AI investments, driving productivity, enhancing experiences, and generating new revenue streams.
