Business AI

La nuova frontiera della produttività e dell'innovazione

REGISTRATI

in collaborazione con

L’intelligenza artificiale sta aprendo nuove opportunità di crescita e trasformazione in tutte le funzioni aziendali. Ma l’AI oggi non è più una promessa futura: è già integrata nelle applicazioni e pronta per abilitare nuove forme di produttività e innovazione. Le aziende possono oggi sfruttare l’AI per rendere più intelligenti processi e decisioni, accelerando il loro percorso di trasformazione. In Italia, il 60% dei CEO ritiene che l’AI porterà la propria organizzazione a reinventare il modello di business entro i prossimi tre anni.

Allo stesso tempo, in un contesto di mercato sempre più incerto e competitivo, i team di leadership sono chiamati a sfruttare il digitale per costruire resilienza e agilità. Investire in suite avanzata di pianificazione delle risorse aziendali diventa cruciale: una business suite integrata che combina funzionalità di pianificazione, analisi e automazione, abilitando le organizzazioni a cogliere appieno le potenzialità dell’AI e a trasformare i modelli operativi in chiave intelligente e sostenibile.

IDC, insieme a Horsa RUN e SAP, organizza un evento dedicato a esplorare l’impatto concreto dell’AI sul business e il ruolo strategico del C-suite nel guidare il cambiamento, anticipare le sfide e abilitare nuovi modelli operativi.

L’evento si terrà a Padova il 20 novembre dalle 9:30 alle 14:30 e sarà l’occasione per approfondire trend di mercato, best practice e sfide operative legate a Business AI e resilienza industriale.

Key Topics

Punto di partenza – Quali sono le principali sfide che le aziende stanno affrontando nell’adozione dell’AI e nella risposta all’incertezza del mercato?
Visione futura – Come costruire una roadmap efficace per l’adozione dell’AI e lo sviluppo di una resilienza industriale sostenibile?
Percorso operativo – Quali best practice e strategie concrete possono abilitare una trasformazione digitale realmente scalabile e duratura?
Scalabilità e continuità – Come assicurare che i progetti di AI non restino “piloti” isolati, ma diventino iniziative scalabili e integrate nella strategia aziendale?
Dal potenziale alla realtà – Come passare dall’entusiasmo per l’AI alla creazione di casi d’uso concreti che generino impatto misurabile sul business?
Resilienza intelligente – Quali modelli operativi permettono di trasformare l’incertezza in un vantaggio competitivo grazie a AI, dati e automazione?

FutureTech Summit

Scaling AI Across Cloud and Enterprise Platforms

5 Nov 2026 County Hall, London, United Kingdom

Architecting the Intelligent Enterprise

The IDC European FutureTech Summit is the premier event for CTOs, IT architects, and technology leaders shaping the next era of enterprise IT. AI is no longer a side initiative, it’s becoming core to business growth.

Over half of CXOs expect revenue gains from AI, and 77% of CIOs rank implementation and scaling of AI as their top priority for 2026. To succeed, organizations must recalibrate, not just tools, but mindset, architecture, and leadership. This decisive pivot moves enterprises from isolated pilots to scaled deployments, demanding data, systems, and people ready to support autonomous, AI-driven operations. IDC research shows IT budgets for AI, cloud, and edge will rise to 15-30% by 2027, signaling a region-wide commitment to modernizing technology foundations and accelerating innovation.

Agenda

This event provides foresight into what’s next for Europe’s digital future, showcases IDC research and real-world innovations, and delivers practical frameworks to help leaders turn complexity into opportunity and build AI-ready, scalable, and sustainable digital ecosystems.

Responsible and Secure AI: The Key to AI-Fueled Growth

As Asia/Pacific businesses accelerate their digital transformation journeys, artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a core innovation enabler. From identity and access management (IAM) to risk-based trust frameworks, AI is reshaping the cybersecurity landscape. However, as AI adoption grows, so do concerns around security, trust, and compliance.

The CIO Imperative: Six Priorities for the AI-Fueled Organization

Technology is no longer just an enabler – it transforms how organizations function, compete, and deliver value. Specifically, AI is now fundamentally changing business processes, operations, and experiences, something that presents CIOs with both challenges and opportunities.

IDC, Insight & Microsoft Executive Event

Securing the AI Frontier: From Threats to Triumph

Overview

All organisations are driving forward their AI initiatives, spurred by the promise of greater efficiencies and new business opportunities. But AI is hard, bringing new risks, varied and intertwining technologies, and ethical considerations. Organisations must cut through these complexities to extract value from their AI activities.

Most people are familiar with emergent AI threats, such as perfect phishing campaigns and deep fake examples. But there are numerous other AI-based threats that are now also apparent: data and model poisoning, prompt injection and deep network reconnaissance are just a few of the identified threats.

Of course, organisations need to be protected from themselves, stopping employees uploading sensitive data into open models and causing data breaches. Organisations must also recognise the value of their AI assets: models, prompt libraries and source data. These assets must be identified, assessed for risk, and protected

In response to these threats, forward-thinking security leaders recognise the need to leverage AI as a defensive tool. Otherwise, the asymmetry of AI adoption skews the delicate balance from cyber defence to attack. Basic AI can be used to correlated and automate actions, while GenAI can compile incident reports and even suggest resolutions. The emergence of agentic AI creates the promise of autonomous SecOps, upskilling SOC analysts and driving recruitment and retention of new talent.

Across this activity, organisations must tread the fine line between AI governance and innovation, avoiding the perception that security is stifling innovation. In fact, IDC research shows that governance accelerates innovation, and it’s the lak of governance that slows AI innovation. But AI governance is an up-front cost, so where should organisations start their governance journey?

To address these issues – and more – join Insight and IDC for an exclusive discussion on how leading organisations are addressing security opportunities and challenges in the era of AI everywhere. At this event we’ll explore:

• What new security challenges are emerging from AI? What does good AI governance look like?

• What AI-enabled approaches to security are being considered, and are they working?

• What does the future hold for security in an AI-driven world?

We’ll connect strategy to execution, and discuss how organisations can enable, augment and optimise AI-enabled security, to drive new productivity and better security outcomes in today’s uncertain world.

IDC & OKTA Executive Dinner

Rethinking Identity Security: AI and the New Frontier of Trust

Okta Survey 2025: Nearly half of all organizations have experienced compromised non-human identity accounts or credentials in the past year, and another 26% suspect they have.

For growing businesses, identity has become both a growth enabler and the new security frontier. Every customer interaction — from sign-up to sign-in — shapes trust and loyalty. At the same time, the rapid rise of AI agents introduces fresh challenges, from AI-powered phishing and deepfakes to managing unmanaged machine and agent identities.

Identity is now the #1 attack vector, making a modern identity fabric essential for SMBs looking to scale securely. Extending identity controls beyond human users to customers, partners, APIs, and increasingly, to AI and autonomous agents, is critical to preserving trust, accountability, and resilience.

IDC’s invitation-only, complimentary, Executive Dinners are designed to be a small-scale, personal, and interactive gathering, with sufficient time for you to connect with like-minded industry peers. The structure of our event aims to be simple and effective – starting at 18:30 and ending at 22:30, with discussions being held over a three-course dinner and champagne reception.

Key Topics

Together with our partner OKTA, IDC invites you to an evening of fine wining and dining to gain actionable ideas on strengthening both customer trust and digital resilience in a world increasingly powered by AI.

IDC & SAP Executive Dinner

The role of modern enterprise systems as enablers of growth

Host partner

IDC predicts that driven by AI and autonomous agents, in 2027, 40% of G2000 will utilize their ERP systems as value engines, transforming decision support to contextual insights.

Digital investments and modernization have become indispensable for fostering innovation and realizing sustainable success. Modern enterprise systems and artificial intelligence are revolutionizing how organizations close execution gaps, measure outcomes, and achieve scalable operations across sectors.

As enterprises redefine digital strategies and align transformation initiatives with leadership priorities, scaling requires more than just automation and AI. Investment in advanced enterprise resource planning (ERP) suites and next-generation front-office solutions is essential to unify business processes and deliver seamless customer experiences. These core systems empower businesses to integrate operations, boost agility, and build the scalability needed to compete digitally.

Overview

According to IDC, EMEA organizations are accelerating adoption of modern enterprise applications driven by the need for improved customer experience, greater automation, and enhanced agility. For C-suite leaders, bridging the gap between technology and business priorities is vital to achieving transformative, measurable outcomes. IDC predicts that by 2025, organizations still relying on legacy infrastructure will need to urgently modernize their applications to remain competitive in the digital world.

As your organization advances on its AI-driven transformation path, focus on four imperatives:

Modernizing with next-generation enterprise systems
Driving automation for operational efficiency
Ensuring robust data management—recognizing that AI is only as powerful as the data behind it
Strengthening governance to enable responsible technology adoption

Why Attend?

Together with our partner SAP, IDC invites you to an evening of fine wining and dining to explore, together with a selected group of business leaders, how digital investments and advanced enterprise applications can propel your organization’s full-scale transformation.

Key Topics

Reshaping digital strategies in the age of AI

Achieving scale through advanced enterprise systems

Maximizing value creation through cross-functional C-suite collaboration

E-invoicing: The Perfect Storm For Growth & Opportunity

In Association with

The worldwide financial applications market reached €55.5 billion in 2024, and is expected to experience exponential expansion in the coming years. This will in part be driven by the transition to invoice automation and heightened regulatory requirements for transparency among global tax agencies, many of which pushing for real-time data collection. This is creating a best-of-breed solutions market, attracting software providers from EDI, AR, AP, ERP and Corporate tax application spaces, making interoperability a new norm.

Overview

The pre-covid VAT gap was estimated to stand at an astronomical $500 billion globally. Technology, which was not historically considered a strong component for several global governments, is now viewed as a catalyst for process improvement in tax data collection, emergent as a viable pathway towards closing the VAT gap.

Organizations should become accustomed to Government-designated regulations for transactional data exchanges and reporting, specifically and more commonly CTC models, all being introduced to validate and approve transaction data in real-time. This is revolutionizing invoice lifecycle management workflows.

Join IDC and Pagero, part of Thomson Reuters, for an exclusive discussion on how leading organisations are navigating the rapidly changing world of e-invoicing and finance in Europe. At this event, we’ll explore:

How shifts in buyer controls and Accounts Receivables are redefining e-invoicing adoption. What does this mean for suppliers, buyers, and overall compliance?
The impact of VIDA and EU member state mandates on accelerating e-invoicing rollout, and what a tsunami of upcoming regulations means for your business.

We’ll connect strategy to execution, and discuss how organisations can enable, augment, and optimise their e-invoicing processes and finance operations, driving greater efficiency, compliance, and business outcomes in today’s complex European market.
