9:30 Keynote I: Discover the Power of Oracle AI in Oracle Fusion Applications

The rate of change affecting businesses has risen steadily since 2019, by 183% over the past four years and by 33% in the past year alone. Most C-suite executives anticipate an even faster rate of change in 2024, but more than half say they are not fully prepared to respond. Catapulted by advances in generative AI, Technology change increased the most in 2023, rising to the No. 1 cause of change from No.6 in 2022.

AI is changing everything—the way we work, do business, run supply chains, serve customers, and manage employees. As leaders within the business, how are you equipping yourselves and your teams with the right capabilities to ensure that you can harness the latest innovations in your respective board areas and deliver greater value to your organizations?

  • Moving from AI vision to application in your organisations

11:50 Fireside Chat: Revolutionising HR with Emerging Tech

By 2025, 60% of enterprise organizations will adopt a responsible AI framework for their HR technology — and in turn, achieve greater employee experience and trust in the organization. Gartner says HR leaders must manage an increasingly complex technology portfolio and meet demands across HR and the business, amid a constantly changing environment. They need to prioritize investment in innovations that enable flexibility and resilience. Instead of waiting for change to happen, choose the right places in the organization to pilot innovations that demonstrate business value.
