Each year, FORWARD + TechEd draws more people, generates more interest, and ignites more enthusiasm for AI and automation. People from all over the world make it a priority to be on-site with us in Las Vegas. But if you were to ask 100 random attendees why they made the trip, you’re likely to get 100 different answers. There’s something for everyone.
To help you get a feel for what you’ll experience on-site next month, we’re taking a quick tour of the “best of the best” that you can expect to find at FORWARD + TechEd. So, let’s get started!
Throughout FORWARD + TechEd next month, we’ll be taking a close look at what it means to transform with AI. AI and automation are perfect complements for business transformation. Automation infuses AI into every business process, task, and system. Whatever you can do with AI, automation makes it better. Faster. More accurate. More resilient. You’ll see and hear from UiPath experts, industry thought leaders, and UiPath customers on how the combination of AI and automation creates a whole new realm of possibilities and innovation.
One of the phrases you’ll hear during UiPath keynotes and presentations is “agentic AI.” We’ve all seen how AI accelerates the cycle of innovation. It helps organizations turn great ideas into real-world solutions faster than ever before. And one area where a lot of innovation will occur is in the ability of an AI system to control and manage the flow of a business process. AI can act as an “agent” that takes on an increasing share of unstructured workloads. Agentic AI opens up a whole new realm of possibilities for automation. And we’ll be taking a closer look at FORWARD + TechEd.
At FORWARD + TechEd, we like to have UiPath and industry thought leaders share their views on how the industry is evolving. Our Founder and CEO Daniel Dines and our Chief Product Officer Graham Sheldon have a lot of insight on the impact that AI and automation technologies will have on the way we work and live. Their keynote addresses are your chance to get a sneak peek at the future.
As businesses transform with AI, it’s important that we manage that transformation in a humane and ethical way. Dr. Rumman Chowdhury will share her thoughts on how we can ensure that AI will unlock potential and enrich lives at every level of the org chart.
But FORWARD + TechEd are about more than changing how businesses work and innovate. They’re also about transforming your career. The knowledge, skills, and insight you gain by attending FORWARD + TechEd can make you a more valuable resource to your employer and expand your career options.
There’s a lot of diversity in the UiPath Community. Some of you are process and industry experts. Some of you are hard-core technology pros. And a lot of you have a foot in both worlds. That’s why we’ve created an event where you can dive into the type of content that fits the role you have—and the future you want. And the best news is that you can build an agenda that includes the best of both FORWARD and TechEd. You can find a breakdown of what’s included in each experience on the Why Attend page.
Sometimes you need answers that you can’t get from a search engine. We bring hundreds of UiPath and partner experts to FORWARD + TechEd each year, so you can tap into their knowledge and get the answers you need. From the booths in Expertsville to the lunchtime roundtable discussions to the Q&A sessions, you’ll be able to speak one-on-one with some of today’s leading experts on AI and automation technologies. And they know how those technologies work in specific industry and business contexts, so you can apply what you learn back at your workplace.
Even in a technology-saturated world, there's still no substitute for face-to-face interactions. A special alchemy happens when likeminded, passionate people get together in one place to share ideas and exchange insights. One of the great things about AI and automation is that they free us to focus more on the human side of how businesses work. We have more time to make connections, share ideas, and collaborate. That spirit is alive and well among the people who attend FORWARD + TechEd, and you’ll experience it for yourself in Las Vegas.
We always invite dozens of UiPath customers to share their stories at FORWARD and TechEd each year. Why? What our customers say about their experience with UiPath means a lot more than what we say ourselves. Our customers are inspiring. They’re proof of what’s possible. And they have a lot of practical, hands-on, hard-won knowledge that they’re willing to share.
On-site in Las Vegas, you’ll find three separate “theaters” we’ve created to showcase the different types of stories our customers will tell: Inspiration, Journey, and How-to. The names speak for themselves. But the bottom line is that you’ll come away with a better understanding of how AI and automation work in the real world to transform the way organizations operate.
AI and automation are tools, and different industries use those tools in different ways. During our Industry Summits, we’ll explore how companies use AI and automation to tackle the challenges unique to their industry context and markets. The Summits bring together some of the most innovative organizations in the following industries and areas to discuss the challenges unique to their market and their customers.
Healthcare and life sciences
Public sector
Customer experience
Manufacturing and supply chain
Financial services and insurance
UiPath expertise is a hot commodity. And FORWARD + TechEd you can take a free UiPath Certification test to document your expertise. Here’s your chance to prove to your employer—and the world—that you know your way around UiPath AI and automation technologies.
If you’re the type who likes to look under the hood to see how things work, the workshops and Product Deep Dives we have on the agenda are just your thing. Led by the people who design and build UiPath technologies, these sessions can help you understand how our products work, so you can put them to work in a real-world context.
That’s a not-so-quick overview of what’s in store for you in Las Vegas at FORWARD + TechEd. But we didn’t cover everything. Like the Automation Celebration featuring Earth, Wind & Fire, and the Unwind Happy Hour. Take a few minutes and explore the full agenda. And keep checking back, because we’re making updates all the time.
