CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Forrester (Nasdaq: FORR) today announced the full conference agenda for its Data Strategy & Insights North America live virtual, immersive experience to be held October 13-15, 2020. Featuring Forrester analysts and noted industry speakers, the conference will offer guidance to chief information officers, chief data officers, chief analytics officers, and customer experience and marketing leaders to help them make strategic and operational decisions and glean the most relevant insights to transform their organizations for the decade ahead.

Data Strategy & Insights North America will also help attendees expand their data literacy skills and reimagine the role of data, analytics, and artificial intelligence in the future of work. This year's event will include six keynotes and 18 deep-dive sessions across three in-depth breakout tracks focused on data strategy, AI and analytics, and customer insights. Noteworthy keynotes and sessions include:

    --  The "New Normal" For Data And Insights Leaders. This year, organizations
        scrambled to use data and analytics to understand and manage the impact
        of the pandemic on business processes, customers, and employees. This
        panel, featuring JoAnn Stonier, chief data officer at Mastercard, and
        Chris Turpin, chief enterprise architect at the North Carolina
        Department of Health and Human Services, explores how leaders will
        navigate this new normal in their respective roles.
    --  The Future Of Data. The ability to launch a new business ecosystem in
        less than a year, release a new technology solution to market in weeks,
        or redesign a marketplace and supply chain in days is no longer
        unattainable. This keynote showcases real-world examples of how strong
        data foundations help companies and governments both emerge from chaos
        and thrive in chaos.
    --  The Reinvention Of The Future Of Work. Applying better data, analytics,
        AI, and automation to redefine the future of work and the employee
        experience requires more embeddedness, responsiveness, and innovation,
        especially as firms build resiliency. This keynote explores how data and
        analytics fuel the intelligence -- and transformation -- behind the
        future of work.
    --  World-Changing AI Technologies. AI has been restricted by data, cost,
        and trust challenges, but a host of new technologies -- from synthetic
        data and transformer networks to federated learning and neuromorphic
        computing -- will remake our world. This keynote offers a business view
        into what the future holds for AI.
    --  Top Trends And Emerging Technologies In Data Management. New and
        emerging technologies in data management are enabling organizations to
        support the next generation of insights, real-time analytics, customer
        intelligence, and other emerging use cases. This session explores the
        top trends and offers insight into how organizations should leverage new
        technologies to support their data management strategy.

"In today's environment, data drives the digital business," said Srividya Sridharan, event host and VP, research director at Forrester. "To realize the full potential of AI and analytics, firms require new skills and roles. They need to develop a new operational mindset to take models from theory to reality -- and to scale AI in a responsible and ethical manner. Data Strategy & Insights is a prime opportunity to discuss how data and insights will translate to impact and growth."

As previously announced, five-time Grammy Award winner, 2020 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, and popular music icon Michael McDonald will headline as music performer for Data Strategy & Insights North America attendees.
