What to expect at the Gartner Digital Workplace Summit 2021

On the 14th and 15th of June, it is time to dive into digital workplace strategies and infrastructures, employee experiences, remote work learnings and much more at the Gartner Digital Workplace Summit.

In this article, we’ll tell you more about the event (and why it would be interesting for you to attend), and of course about our own session by our CEO Erik Nicolai.

So let’s get into it!

What is the Gartner Digital Workplace Summit?

The Gartner Digital Workplace Summit is an event designed for digital workplace leaders, IT architects, IT leadership and application leaders. This year, the event will take place online due to the current pandemic.

During the event, Gartner experts share their insights on of course the digital workplace, but also the strategy behind it, emerging trends and trend predictions regarding the future of work, and different workplace technologies that can help organisations to take advantage of these trends and of whatever the future holds for them.

In their own words, the summit will provide you with information on:

• Developing a digital workplace strategy that builds upon innovations in workplace technologies like automation, collaboration, and artificial intelligence to deliver connected experiences and drive user adoption.
• Creating frictionless and empowering employee experiences that enable leadership to foster positive culture change.
• Establishing a secure, stable and adaptive workplace infrastructure to support the foundation of your program.
• Leveraging your organisation’s post pandemic priorities to adapt, evolve and execute a digital workplace strategy that builds a smarter workforce.
