Innovation. It’s what we do. And it’s how we work. This year’s Tech Forum has innovation running through every pore: we’re going 100% virtual.
Join over 3,000 R&D and technology experts for a 6-day global agenda packed full of all the good stuff you’ve come to expect – inspirational keynotes and thought leaders, customer views, and specialist sessions – plus a whole new, personalized experience where you’re the participant and the creator. In 2020, we want you to have your say and help set the agenda for your Tech Forum.
Use this page as your event springboard to discover keynotes, speakers, poster sessions, and more. And follow the links to our Tech Forum 2020 Collaboration Community, enabled by Crowdicity, where you can connect with peers from around the world and share and vote on emerging ideas.
