ABOUT THE FORUM


What is Data Strategy & Insights 2018? 
Data Strategy & Insights Forum is a new event highlighting the business transformation and growth opportunities available to businesses that can derive insights from deep pools of data. The new Forum will introduce the concept of the insights-driven enterprise and Forrester's latest research on this new breed of business. Forrester predicts that insights-driven businesses will steal $1.2 billion in revenue annually from their competition by 2020. The event is the first of its kind, focusing on the powerful integration of what traditionally have been separate data sets — customer data on the one hand and internal performance data on the other — in support of business transformation and the ability to truly anticipate future customer needs..

CONTENT AND SESSIONS


How is content structured at Data Strategy & Insights 2018?
Content at Data Strategy & Insights is structured around three different session types:

Keynotes: Forrester Analysts and industry thought leaders take to the main stage over the course of two days to deliver inspirational, forward looking presentations centered around our core themes. 
Foundations: Tightly focused breakout sessions on key technologies and techniques for the marketer, presented by Forrester and select partners. 
Deep Dives: Long-form, in-depth explorations of key issues and challenges, led by Forrester analysts and defining new best practices from innovative marketing professionals. 

What is the format of the Forum?
Keynote sessions take place on our mainstage with theater-style seating. Foundations and Deep Dives take place in smaller rooms and are often set classroom-style, and are highly interactive. 

Are sessions recorded and are session materials made available to attendees?
All mainstage sessions are recorded, and most keynote presentations are made available to attendees. Some speakers however choose to withhold their material because the content is proprietary or competitively sensitive. Foundations and Deep Dive sessions are typically not recorded; however, materials are typically be made available for sharing after the Forum.

Unless otherwise noted, all sessions at all Forrester forums are on the record.
