Event: What will drive the next wave of business innovation?

It’s no secret that senior managers and C-level executives are constantly wading through the latest buzzwords and jargon as they try to determine the best strategies for their business. Disruption, digital transformation, robots are taking our jobs, AI, AIOps, DevSecOps… all of the “next big thing” headlines, terms, clickbait articles, and sensationalism paint a distorted picture of what the business technology landscape really is.

Understand the reality amongst the virtuality, and make sense of what technology will drive the next wave of business innovation.

Join Tim Dillon, founder  of Tech Research Asia (TRA), for a presentation that blends technology market research trends with examples from Australian businesses already deploying solutions in areas such as cloud computing, intelligent analytics, robotics, artificial intelligence, and “the realities” (mixed, virtual, and augmented). Tim will examine when these innovation technologies will genuinely transform Australian industry sectors as well as the adoption and deployment plans of your peers. Not just a theoretical view, the presentation will provide practical tips and learnings drawn from real-life use cases.

Hosted by JDS Australia and Splunk, this is an event not to be missed by any executive who wants an industry insider view of what’s happening in technology in 2018, and where we’re headed in the future.

Tim is passionate about the application of technology for business benefit. He has been involved in business and technology research and analysis since 1991. In July 2012 he established Tech Research Asia (www.techresearch.asia) to provide bespoke analyst services to vendors in the IT&T sector.

Prior to this he was Current Analysis’ (now Global Data) Director of Global Telecoms Research and European and Asia Pacific Research Director.

For a period of time he also worked with one of Europe’s leading competitive intelligence research houses as research director with a personal focus on the telecoms and IT sectors. He combines more than 20 years of business and technology research with a blend of professional, international experience in Australia, Asia Pacific, and Europe. Of late, his particular areas of interest have centred upon emerging innovation technologies such as AI, virtual and augmented realities, security and data management, and governance. Tim truly delights in presenting, facilitating, and communicating with organisations and audiences discussing how trends and development in technology will shape the future business environment. 

A strong communicator, he has presented to large (1500+) audiences through to small, intimate round table discussions.

He has also authored expert witness documents for cases relating to the Australian telecommunication markets. A Tasmanian by birth, Tim holds a Bachelor of Economics from the University of Tasmania.
