Forrester Announces Its Emerging Technology Forum, An Exclusive New Event Highlighting 2018 Digital Enterprise Trends

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Aug. 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Forrester (NASDAQ: FORR) today announced it will host its first-ever Emerging Technology Forum 2017 in Boston, a new event that will highlight key trends, concepts, and technologies that will shape the digital enterprise in 2018.

The Forum will explore four key trends in emerging digital technology that Forrester predicts will drive disruption and growth in 2018. Technologies covered will include the revolutionary impact of distributed systems such as blockchain; the re-invention of customer experience by ambient, conversation-driven user interfaces; and the proliferation of autonomous objects born at the intersection of AI and IoT. The Forum will also showcase a select group of innovative companies whose technologies will set the pace in the new year.

"The pace of business innovation is increasingly set by the speed of technology advancements, and the velocity of technology innovation is only accelerating," Cliff Condon, chief research and product office at Forrester, said. "Forrester's Emerging Technology Forum will help forward-thinking business and technology leaders understand the next wave of technological change while providing valuable insights on how to choose and leverage the right technologies that drive customer-obsessed innovation."

To expose attendees to the best-possible selection of emerging technologies, Forrester opened a call for submissions to invite early-stage companies with innovative and disruptive technologies to be featured at the event. A panel of Forrester analysts and industry experts will select the strongest submissions, and winners will be showcased and introduced to Forrester's roster of corporate and enterprise clients at the Forum.

"Creating connections between established players and emerging innovators has long been a core mission at Forrester," Condon added. "The Emerging Technology Forum is an important step in building on that legacy to create new relationships and business opportunities for both clients and innovators."
