Where to find me during Think 2019
Are you attending Think 2019 in San Francisco? There's still time to register if you haven't already! The conference officially kicks off Tuesday afternoon and you can see my earlier post on Planning for Think if you need a wider overview of the conference. This post is to show you where I am planning to be and letting you see exactly what sessions have piqued my interest.
First a note: I often have multiple sessions in a single time slot. This is because as an IBMer it seems only polite that I ensure a customer can attend a session if the room starts to fill up. Therefore, I try to plan 3 or more sessions for every time slot so I can simply choose a less full room to attend. This is also useful if I end up in a different location than I originally planned due to a client meeting and want to see a session that's nearby and simply drop in. So, if you're using this to track me down in SanFran, it would probably be easier to text me. For the same reason, you will not find any "Hands On" or "Lab" sessions on this list. Those require an advance sign up and I want to ensure our clients get the maximum time with our coolest stuff. Also, while I have signed up for a Run/Walk session, I may end up skipping it if the normal Conference walking is enough of a workout.
Without any further ado, here is the official (current) Chip Van Alstyne Think 2019 Agenda:

Access the Future Today: Quantum ComputingTuesday, Feb 12, 2019 | 12:30 PM - 1:10 PM | Forum - SATELLITE VIEWING | Session ID: 7507B
Quantum
computing takes advantage of the laws of quantum mechanics found in
nature and represents a fundamental change from classical information
processing. For two years now, IBM has enabled more than 100,000 people
around the globe to access quantum computers for learning, research, and
tackling new problems. While still early, we believe it’s just a matter
of time until we start using these devices to solve certain problems
better than we can today. IBM’s Dario Gil will discuss this radically
different approach to computing built on the laws of quantum mechanics
and how the roadmap for mainstream adoption of this new technology is
being forged today by IBM in collaboration with a global community
across business, academia and research.

Accelerating the Journey to AIWednesday, Feb 13, 2019 | 11:30 AM - 12:10 PM | Think Theater | Session ID: 6922A
Organizations
recognize data is what fuels digital transformation, and are looking
for new ways to unlock the value of their data and accelerate their
journey to AI. That is why 80% of them view AI as a strategic
opportunity. Yet, only 19% of organizations understand the data
required for AI. Successful organizations apply a prescriptive approach
to climbing the ladder to AI, based on a unified architecture that
delivers everything they need for enterprise AI, on any cloud. In this
session, hear Chief Data Officers and Chief Innovation Officers share a
behind-the-scenes look at their approach to managing the full lifecycle
of AI, and the essential lessons learned on their journey to drive
smarter decisions throughout the organizations.

Hybrid, Multicloud by Design. Accelerating the Enterprise Cloud JourneyWednesday, Feb 13, 2019 | 1:30 PM - 2:10 PM | Think Theater | Session ID: 6923A
Cloud
is integral to virtually every enterprise digital transformation
strategy. Yet less than 20% of workloads have moved to the cloud. Why?
Put simply, complexity. Enterprises are struggling to modernize apps and
workloads, and overcome persistent tech and data silos reinforced by
vendor lock in. Agile enterprises can accommodate changing business
requirements at speed. The right cloud foundation built on open
standards frees workloads and data to run on the right cloud model, on
or off premises, and across multiple clouds. It embraces tech and data
from more sources to speed innovation. And when combined with unique
industry, security and tech expertise, it can tailor the journey to
cloud to your enterprise for better outcomes.

The Blueprint for Smart BusinessesWednesday, Feb 13, 2019 | 3:30 PM - 4:10 PM | Think Theater | Session ID: 6924A
How
do you design your business for growth? Being "digital" at the edges is
no longer enough. To succeed companies need to truly align the data
they own towards purposeful innovation. This is the story of an
insurance company who is now a risk management expert. Of a car
manufacturer who found their competitive advantage in mobility. It is
about an apparel retailer who is a fashion expert. But where do you
start? Smarter businesses differentiate themselves from within. They
have a culture of agile innovation that leverages AI and cloud on their
journey to become a smart, secure and sustainable business. This is a
new era for business - defined by incumbent disruptors - where companies
who have a past, have the most promising future.
