As technologies like AI and Edge transform the way we do business, the premier conference for technology enthusiasts is returning to Dublin.

Dell Technologies Forum is the number one destination for business leaders looking to drive innovation and growth in their fields.

With an agenda focused on helping organisations innovate and leverage emerging technologies, the forum is an immersive experience that brings it all together - emerging trends, cutting-edge technologies, dynamic speakers and concrete ways to transform the way you work.

Amongst the expert speakers taking to the stage is two-time Formula One World Champion Mika Häkkinen.

One of the most celebrated drivers in the history of motorsports, Häkkinen will explain how he uses a range of technologies to analyse and support high-performance and outline how innovation and emerging technologies are driving progress in sport.

The event will also hear from Dell Technologies Ireland MD Catherine Doyle and a range of other experts who will reveal the most important technological trends shaping the future of Irish business.

“In an uncertain economic environment, the importance of technology for business only continues to grow,” said Ms Doyle.

“Innovation empowers organisations by enabling them to thrive in the face of a growing set of challenges.

“The Dell Technologies Forum is a valuable platform that brings together technology experts and businesses leaders across Ireland to collaborate and foster innovation.

“By leveraging the expertise of our speakers and network at Forum, businesses across Ireland can transform at speed and embrace new technologies to become global innovation leaders.”

The summit comes as new Dell research reveals that most businesses in Ireland (78%) have a vibrant culture of innovation and are optimistic (74%) about their potential to withstand volatility in the economy.

It warns, however, that a clear gap remains between perception of innovation, and realising innovation – with just 6% of organisations in Ireland boasting the people, processes and technology to be defined as ‘Innovation Leaders’ and ‘Adopters’.

The Dell Technologies Forum is run in partnership with Intel and Microsoft.

It takes place at the Convention Centre in Dublin on September 26^th.
