The Digital Business Summit, begun in 2011 as the Cloud Business Summit by Saugatuck Technology, now a business of ISG, brings together the most experienced senior digital business strategists and technology leaders to explore how enterprises are leveraging the latest digital strategies to transform their businesses, gain operational agility and efficiency, and drive faster growth.

Digital Business Summit events will be held October 27 in Berlin, Germany; November 17 in Greenwich, Conn., and December 1 in Chicago.

Along with thought leaders from ISG Insights™, including Saugatuck Founder and CEO Bill McNee, other featured speakers include senior technology leaders from such companies as Cognizant, IBM, IPsoft, r4, Workday, Wipro Digital and more:

"Digital Business is no longer confined to the board room," said McNee of ISG Insights™. "With more than 90 percent of user enterprises worldwide already working through multiple phases of digital transformation – from experimentation and learning to fully engaged, established and improving – the critical leadership questions are shifting. Decisions around which technologies to leverage remain paramount, but business and IT leaders are increasingly focusing on the implications for business strategy and execution that create disruptive opportunity, improve the business, and sustain competitive capability, often in new and unintended ways."

Through interactive sessions, conference participants will gain valuable information and actionable advice from industry experts and peers:

ISG analysts will explore the digital disruptors driving transformative changes in organizational operating models.
