The Forum will explore four key trends in emerging digital technology that Forrester predicts will drive disruption and growth in 2018. Technologies covered will include the revolutionary impact of distributed systems such as blockchain; the re-invention of customer experience by ambient, conversation-driven user interfaces; and the proliferation of autonomous objects born at the intersection of AI and IoT. The Forum will also showcase a select group of innovative companies whose technologies will set the pace in the new year.

"Forrester's Emerging Technology Forum will help forward-thinking business and technology leaders understand the next wave of technological change while providing valuable insights on how to choose and leverage the right technologies that drive customer-obsessed innovation." To expose attendees to the best-possible selection of emerging technologies, Forrester opened a call for submissions to invite early-stage companies with innovative and disruptive technologies to be featured at the event. A panel of Forrester analysts and industry experts will select the strongest submissions, and winners will be showcased and introduced to Forrester's roster of corporate and enterprise clients at the Forum.
