The theme for 2019 is Seize tomorrow’s opportunities.

Participants can customize their week according to what is relevant to their business. They can choose to attend differently formatted sessions on more than 45 topics, including innovation, AI & Analytics, leadership, agile organizations, organizing for innovation: insights from China and much more.
