December 1-3 , 2021
Hilton Riverside, New Orleans
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. Just like our community, IA Week is interested in
understanding how automation as a whole can transform the very fabric of the enterprise to enable forward- focused decision making
to gain a competitive advantage in the market. At the end of the day, automation must be able to maximize output, efficiency and
time-savings.
To do this, it must enable 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 – whether you are just getting started or are ready for an enterprise-wide strategy.
Get involved with these conversations:
For the first time in almost TWO YEARS! The Intelligent Automation community will be gathering in person, from
