Event Details

Turning the Moore's-Law crank to automate existing activities has impressive returns, but they are nowhere near the breakout opportunities available from data-driven and AI-augmented initiatives that redefine entire industries. Salesforce's global VP of Strategic Research will share observations and recommendations based on work with dozens of organizations that are on the leading edge of making the magic real.
