Intelligent Automation New Orleans 2017 | International Quality & Productivity Center | 6 November 2017 | Hyatt Regency , 601 Loyola Ave, New Orleans, LA 70113, US

Transforming Business Processes, One Bot at a Time

There’s no doubt about it, Intelligent Automation is the hottest topic around and our events have grown exponentially in just two short years! 400+ attendees filled the conference rooms to full capacity at our July 2017 Chicago event, and the buzz over the topic was palpable.

We learned from BNY Mellon, Microsoft, LinkedIn, NASA, Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc., Sears Holding, American Airlines, and Bank of America (to name a few!) about how technologies like RPA, Cognitive and Machine Learning can streamline and increase production of your back office processes - as well as provide a supplementary layer of data analytics to drive increased business intelligence into your respective business units. As more companies of varying industry sectors look to Intelligent Automation and RPA as powerful tools to ensure process improvement, the conversation must be expanded.

That’s where Intelligent Automation New Orleans comes in, where we continue the conversation with new case studies, new discussions and new ideas from every industry sector using RPA, cognitive, and AI technologies. Whether you are involved in your organization’s F&A, HR, contact center or any other functional department, this event will help you on your Intelligent Automation journey.
