Intelligence Automation Week Winter 2021 | IQPC | 1 December 2021 | Hilton New Orleans Riverside, 2 Poydras St, New Orleans, LA 70130, USA

The last year+ has only strengthened the value proposition for automation. Digital transformation topped the list of priorities, and investing in – or strengthening – digital technology stacks is still top of mind. But, at the end of the day, automation must be able to maximize output, efficiency and time-savings. To do this, it must create a strategic focus that ties any automation solution to the broader objectives of the organization. This isn’t an easy thing to do. With so many solutions promising an end to the administrative headaches, it can be hard to decide when to invest and when to stick with pre-existing tools.

Join the conversation and gain the competitive advantage by unlocking the value of automation. Get involved with these conversations:
• Defining and Communicating Value: redefining the benefit of Automation by measuring both hard savings and downstream impact
• Transforming IT's role in Automation: From competition to collaboration, utilizing IT for governance, security and scalability
• COE Governance: From funding to management models, make automation centers a crucial resource for your organization
• Process Excellence: From selecting the best process tool, to marrying process excellence with automation opportunities

Join us at IA Week Winter where you can participate in…
• Pitch Networking: like speed dating for your solutions provider – only stay for the ones you like
• Pre-Event Zoom Networking Roundtables: Get to know your peers before you arrive by participating in pre-event zoomtables
• White Space Roundtables: join a roundtable based on maturity, tool interest, or function and have a 30 minute unstructured conversation
