Ten reasons why you should attend Inforum: The digital experience

Inforum, Infor’s flagship event for customers, partners, and special guests, is being reimagined as a digital experience rather than the traditional in-person conference for this year. It takes place on Sept 15-16 with a mix of on-demand and live sessions that includes customer stories, networking opportunities, product roadmaps, and industry insights.

The theme of “Unprecedented Challenges. Real Opportunities” encapsulates the premise that will be showcased through the event: Despite the extraordinary circumstances individuals and businesses are facing today, the future holds opportunities. Technology will be a catalyst for recovery and reimagining. Attending Inforum will help your enterprise prepare for the next normal. Supply chain planning, facility maintenance, team collaboration, direct distribution to customers, contactless hospitality, digital retail, niche manufacturing, and patient-centered healthcare are among the hot topics coming up.

Here are the Top 10 reasons to attend:

1. Executive keynotes. Infor executives will share observations on the state of the technology industry and how Infor is helping enterprises make bold, dynamic changes to optimize their business performance. You’ll hear inspiring stories about customers adapting to recent market demands, such as empowering the healthcare industry to make major data-tracking and supply chain changes, supporting work-from-home business models, and helping facilities sanitize critical assets and workplaces. Learn what’s new in artificial intelligence, advanced analytics, and implementation accelerators, and our new Agility: 60:30:10 implementation model for faster time-to-value when migrating to the cloud. The opening session will also highlight some exciting announcements, including updates from our Services team and Customer Engagement team about new offerings to support a highly agile move to multi-tenant cloud deployment.
