10:30 AM – 10:55 AM
We are in the midst of a new industrial revolution with new technologies driving major changes in the ways that things — from buildings and infrastructure to cars and consumer electronics — are made. New means of production such as microfactories and 3D printing, new types of Internet-connected products, and new consumer demands for locally made and sustainable products are posing serious disruptions to existing order. Companies need to adapt to thrive in this future, or risk being surpassed by more agile competitors. This keynote will address these trends, and delve into the new generation of cloud and mobile-based software that is helping companies take advantage of these tectonic shifts and succeed.
