Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo 2024: Shaping Today, Defining Tomorrow
At the time of going to press for this special Gartner Magazine BeLux edition, Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo 2024 was almost completely sold out. Once again, in November, several thousand IT leaders from both the public and private sectors will gather to exchange ideas with Gartner analysts—and with each other—on the impact of technology on business and society.
This year, as in the past, AI will be a key focus of presentations and discussions, as we learned from our traditional round of consultations with analysts for this edition. Artificial Intelligence, however, will not be the only theme, but it remains the technology that still tops the hype cycle, though clearly moving towards the Trough of Disillusionment.
While last year's edition was dominated by questions and wonderment, this year’s attention will primarily be on the practical implications and actual use cases. AI is not going anywhere, as evidenced by the billions being invested on all fronts. However, most of the current applications fall under the category that Gartner last year dubbed "everyday AI." Game-changing AI is in development, but it will take longer.
The CIO plays a central role in this. What that role is will be discussed across a wide range of program components under the theme "Leading Today, Shaping Tomorrow". As always, the IT Symposium agenda will be complemented by popular local events, including this year's Holland House, the Belux House, the analyst session, and the public sector lunch.
In this special edition of Dutch IT Leaders/Dutch IT Channel, both Gartner analysts and representatives from the technology sector will share insights into the topics that will take center stage this fall. We wish you much inspiration, and look forward to seeing you in Barcelona!
