Emerging Technologies

Taking the next leap without jumping the gun

May 31 - June 10, 2022

Netherlands

About the Event

We are never done exploring and inventing. It is in our nature. Emerging technologies are for the business leaders who have trouble accepting what is known and wish to find out what lies beyond their current capabilities. Yet, caution should always dictate our way forward. There are numerous developments that marginally improve business value or are even an outright disaster. Emerging technology may have a dark side that only appears during the process of implementation. This convention attempts to filter fact from fantasy so that we may pave a highway rather than a trail into the future. This year’s event will be part of a bigger happening: ME Executive Day. Here we will gather multiple IT target groups under one roof. Next to gathering Tech leaders and CxO's responsible for Emerging Technologies, we will also welcome other IT end responsibility on Cloud and Digital. Together we’ll explore best practices, share learnings, and co-transform. Join us!

Featured Sessions

Keynote : Case presentation : Edge vs Cloud – Are you Integrating it or Assimilating It?
Organizations are looking at how they can easily scale and increase the speed to market in a world that is increasingly connected and real-time data-driven. Especially, IoT produces a large amount of data that needs to be processed and analyzed so it can be used. Therefore, PostNL is trying to sort through the benefits of edge and cloud computing. What are the current developments? How to extend the cloud? How to determine if edge computing is right for your solution? Which services/applications will you run in the edge, and why? During this session, Joost van der Vlies will share how PostNL determines how they choose between cloud and the edge.
Speaker: Joost van der Vlies - PostNL
Case presentation : IoT: More than just a Containerbegrip
Together with Erwin Rademaker, Donald Baan will talk about the numerous applications of IoT and Smart technologies by bringing in a life size shipping container known as "Container 42". Inside, a set of advanced technologies will determine the future of shipping.
Speakers: Donald Baan - Portbase, Erwin Rademaker - Port of Rotterdam
Panel discussion : Scaling Success
The adoption of new technologies in a large multinational can be extremely difficult due to long procedures, outdated businesses models and grounded mindsets. During this panel, three successful scale-up CFO's will share their insights on how they continue to drive innovation in an agile way.
Speakers: Charles Mander - Felyx, Marjolein Slappendel - Temper
Keynote : CERN as a Business Technology Enabler
Han will summarize the technology landscape at CERN and explain how start-ups, large corporates and institutes team up with CERN to innovate together.
Speaker: Han Dols - CERN
