Overview

In 2024, IDC and Foundry, publishers of CIO and CSO, are partnering to present an exciting new unified technology conference across Asia Pacific – The Next Big Thing, or TNBT.

Held in five locations across Asia Pacific, TNBT will bring together the technology sector’s best minds and leaders to examine, what is the next big thing? How can we use technology to meet our organisational goals, to better society even?

In a new era of AI and seemingly constant innovation, we will ask how do we humanise technology? Designing, commercialising, and using technology responsibly, making it useful, meaningful, accessible, distributed, and transparent as possible.

We will examine, what is the next big threat? How do we prepare for not only cybersecurity attacks, but also economic and geopolitical threats that appear in an increasingly uncertain world?

ESG could well become the next big opportunity – you’ll hear from those who have adopted ESG principles, and used them to not only improve their sustainability, but to also foster innovation and profitability.

Topics to be explored at TNBT:
Generative AI
Cybersecurity
ESG and sustainability
The future of work
Banking and Finance
Risk Mitigation
