2023 Phorum Conference - Embracing Volatility: AI in Technology, Talent, & Planet

May 3, 2023 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM (EDT)

Description

Each year, top CIO, CTO, and other business and technology executives from around the country gather at Phorum - Philadelphia’s premier enterprise technology conference - for company presentations, networking, and content and thought leadership, on how enterprises can maximize the business value of specific technologies and innovation.

This year’s Phorum takes place in a context of inflation rates not seen since 1990; costs of capital higher than they’ve been at any of our previous gatherings; and prospects of a pivotal disruption of human capital, due to simultaneous changes in demographics and work practices, even as AI challenges whole classes of employment. Whether starting a company (and needing to interest investors who can get risk-free returns of better than 4%/year in T-Bills), or seeking approval for a technology acquisition (and facing headwinds of macroeconomic and geopolitical turbulence that were not being predicted a year ago), the rules of many games have changed. We’re glad to say, though, that the uniquely multi-disciplinary breadth and outreach of our Phorum program team are still in play, and we’ll be exploring intersectional challenges and opportunities including:

  • How will roles be redefined when costs of tasks like programming and copywriting effectively go to zero?
  • How will innovation get funded when AI-driven R&D gets more efficient, but capital costs are higher?
  • How will we manage and govern AI-generated work in different industries, especially regulated ones?
  • Where will infrastructure hit limits – and what will be the outcome of decentralization versus winner-takes-most?
  • How will companies’ data assets become buy-ins to collaborations aimed at high-impact problems?   

In addition, the conference will also feature the popular “Phorum Demo World” where conference attendees experience, first-hand, some of the most innovative technologies being developed in and around the Philadelphia region. We’ll also feature the Showcase Exhibition for cutting-edge technology companies to meet and demo their product with key enterprise decision makers.
