Technology Leadership Conference
EFCG and its Technology Practice are teaming up with Bentley Systems to host the 6th annual EFCG Technology Leadership Conference in June 2021. Today's world is forcing A/E/C firms to rapidly respond to changing client and employee expectations, accelerating the pace of technology disruption. This conference explores industry trends impacting technology leaders and the associated business and financial implications. Experienced panelists will delve into to evolving issues facing technology leaders and their role in the current- and post-COVID world.
Due to the continued uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, this conference is currently scheduled to be virtual and hosted on a high quality, interactive platform. EFCG is continuously evaluating the current health and safety risks of in-person events and will finalize whether or not this event will be held in person at least 2 months in advance. Our first priority is always the health and safety of our attendees. We appreciate your understanding as we navigate these uncertain times. If the event is virtual, participants will have access to session recordings on demand after the event.
All participants are required to complete a detailed IT-focused survey, results of which are summarized during the conference, reflecting trends, benchmarks and key issues for the industry. Those participating in the event will receive confidential, industry-aggregated data reports and presentations.
EFCG’s 2020 Technology Leadership Conference was hosted on a virtual platform from November 17-18, covering important topics including how technology trends are driving the industry forward, how firms can create technology strategies that reinforce broader firm strategies, and how to tackle the central question of “should we build, borrow, or buy?”. Participants have access to session recordings on demand.
