In this keynote, Joe Weinman draws on his bestselling book and 27 patented innovations to reveal four digital disciplines that drive market leadership: information excellence, solution leadership, collective intimacy, and accelerated innovation. Using case studies from digital giants and lesser-known disruptors alike, Joe provides a strategic blueprint any organization can follow to harness cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things for superior customer value and growth.
Cloud computing is no longer optional — it is the foundation of modern business infrastructure. But how do leaders evaluate its true economic value and make sound investment decisions? In this keynote based on his pioneering Cloudonomics framework, Joe Weinman cuts through the hype to deliver a rigorous, accessible analysis of when and how cloud computing creates exceptional value — and when it does not. Audiences gain a decision-making framework grounded in behavioral economics, statistics, and real-world case studies that they can apply immediately to their technology strategy.
As data volumes explode and real-time processing becomes critical, computing is moving from centralized clouds to distributed edge and fog architectures. In this forward-looking keynote, Joe Weinman — co-editor of Fog and Fogonomics and vice chair of the IEEE 5G Industry Advisory Board — explores how edge computing, 5G networks, and AI are converging to create entirely new business models.
