AUTOMATION INNOVATION LONDON 2017
How do you compare against your peers in the race to the digital workforce transformation?
The 3rd Annual Automation Innovation Conference was a huge success and is the first and only association-run automation event, focusing on “Exploiting the Second Wave” of automation, including RPA, intelligent automation and artificial intelligence.
Those of you who attended had the opportunity to meet members and industry peers who are focused on building a foundation of knowledge. Additionally, you were able to get first-hand insight from case studies, industry successes and lessons learned through thought-provoking discussions, interactive panels, hours of valuable content and networking with thought leaders, influencers and potential resources.
You were able to get a deeper understanding of topics like:

Message from our Conference Chairs
Frank Casale, Founder & Chairman Emeritus
IRPA Network and Outsourcing Institute
If the turnout at our 2016 Automation Innovation Conference was any barometer of growth in US interest in and acceptance of RPA and intelligent automation then, our original prediction that 2016 would be the “Year of the Robot,” was on target!
We quite honestly would have been content having 200 in the room yet like in 2015, however, we exceeded 300 attendees. It was truly a sold out and standing room only event. Apologies to those of you that we had to turn away. We believe we were one attendee away from a visit from the NY fire department. Talk about disruption. Okay, enough of the post event hype and onto our key takeaways for the many who missed the Digital Woodstock of 2016. After the good many presentations, breakout sessions, panels and individual meetings, the following are a handful of thoughts and themes that stuck with us:
From a demographic standpoint, we had an audience that I have divided into three categories:
- Those that got off to a good start with RPA or the like.
- Those that got off to a false start.
- And those that haven't started.
Which one are you?
While the bulk of the questions the 2015 attendees were about definition and description, strategy was clearly top of mind in 2016. Strategy and roadmaps. For the more advanced practitioners (the ones that got off to a good start) cognitive and AI was clearly top of mind, as was overall governance.
We offer a huge thanks to all who attended, sponsored, participated and made the conference the great event it was. We are looking forward to hosting next year’s Automation Innovation.
Agenda
AUTOMATION INNOVATION AGENDA 2017
The application of enabling technologies that allow computer software, known as robots, to manipulate existing software applications as if they were a human being.
Intelligent Automation provides dramatic improvements in accuracy, cycle time, and increased productivity in transaction processing, while it elevates the nature of work by removing people from repetitive tasks. As a best practice, it is advisable to view Intelligent Automation as a method for performing almost any activity that can be performed by a human being, who performs a task by interacting with a variety of computer systems.
