Mumbai, Jan 19 (KNN) With a view to examining tomorrow’s digital technologies and assessing their global impact on both business and the society, the NASSCOM India Leadership Forum 2015 (NILF) will be held here.

The Forum under the theme, ‘The World in 2020: Building the Digital Future,’ is scheduled to be held from February-11 to 13, according to a press notification.

The three day forum will bring together leaders from several organisations from across the world to look at what is in store for the future, what could 2020 look like, the different forces at play that are defining the choices they make in how they shape their organisations and how they plan to unlock the potential to create a digital future.

Leaders from top Fortune 500 companies will come together to share powerful ideas on the theme.  Among them are – Karl Garnadt (Lufthansa), Martin Hofmann (Volkswagen), Jeremy King (Walmart), Padmasree Warrior (CISCO), Mike McNamara (TESCO Plc), Jeremy Burton (EMC), Michael Gorriz (Daimler AG), Kjersten M Moody (Unilever), Rudy Peeters (KBC Group), Frank Bisignana (First Data), Mike Thompson (GSK), Mo Gawdat (Google X).

According to official data, “we are already light years ahead of anything anyone could imagine.  New digital technologies and services are increasingly pervasive as mobile devices and internet are adopted at a staggering pace around the world; and everything – from our cars and thermostats to our medical records and kitchen appliances are already connected to the internet.”

The future has many a surprise in store, from the ‘Internet of Things’ – the hyper connected network that’s being built everyday by the increasing number of objects and tools that are connected to the internet, to disappearing interfaces where device related innovations ensure that the way we think about computing will never be the same.  It also has a promise of a digital India and NILF 2015 will take a ‘selfie’ of India in 2020 today.

The NASSCOM India Leadership Forum 2015 will provide an opportunity for leaders to collaborate and shape the global agenda by exploring new models, innovate the most sought after solutions in and around the digital age.  The Forum would generate powerful ideas and collaborative spirit required to manage the future course of action and align stakeholders around that vision.

Participants can expect – a journey in the digital future of enterprises and the society as a whole; global thought leaders and industry stalwarts discussing the impact of digital on their respective sectors; expert view on the rapid transition of cities to smart cities; meaningful dialogues between CXOs and service providers; master classes on digital enterprise strategy and leadership; one to one networking; idea incubators for in-depth and output-driven discussions; experience digital thought, live innovations and demo.  (KNN Bureau)
