IDC’s 57'th Annual Directions Conference 2022 | International Data Corporation (IDC) | 8 March 2022 | Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, 415 Summer Street Boston, MA 02210, USA

Digital-first isn't about picking/prioritizing a particular technology or a business model. It's an organizational aspiration that must apply across customer engagement, hybrid work, unified security, automated operations, and shared business value. To thrive in a digital-first economy, enterprises must have faster access to innovative technologies that scale, to new data services that have an immediate impact on outcomes, and to application deployment methods that ensure trust.

Attendee Requirements:
• The City of Boston no longer requires proof of vaccination against COVID-19 to enter the convention center.
• Masks are still required within the convention center
