Throughout 2020, the world has been forced to digitise at an exponential rate. While this has put many industries under immense and unforgiving pressure, it has also allowed the world a glimpse of what a truly digital society could look like. Operations were overhauled overnight, workforces were sent to work from home with immediate effect, and large events were relegated to cancellation - unless they could be handled virtually.

    Throughout 2020, the world has been forced to digitise at an exponential rate. While this has put many industries under immense and unforgiving pressure, it has also allowed the world a glimpse of what a truly digital society could look like. Operations were overhauled overnight, workforces were sent to work from home with immediate effect, and large events were relegated to cancellation - unless they could be handled virtually.

    Bringing the digital experience to the fore, Inforum 2020 is set to demonstrate just how effective virtual events can be. The annual Infor customer event has gone digital, and will continue to offer discovery, connection, and inspiration to attendees across the globe.

    Registrations have opened for this year’s Inforum event, which will be broadcast on September 15-16, 2020. We can’t wait to see what this new, digital experience will deliver,” confirms Shanon Ramdaw, Business Development Manager – Infor Services at iOCO, Infor’s Gold Partner in Africa. “In addition to the latest Infor updates, product innovations, and industry trends, this unique, virtual event offers immense opportunities for networking and engagement – all from the comfort and safety of each attendees home.”

    The event serves to drive success with three key pillars. The first is to discover and learn from the best in the industry, ensuring skills remain on-point and relevant. The second is to connect with experts, partners, and peers. The third is to get inspired by pioneering leaders in technology and transformative stories.

    “The agenda promises insightful executive keynotes with the Infor executive leadership team; ground-breaking, industry-specific breakout sessions; inspiring customer case studies; live Infor product demos; ‘Ask the Expert’ conversations for ultimate engagement; and excellent networking opportunities throughout the entire digital experience,” adds Ramdaw.

    The Infor Customer Excellence Award winners will also be announced at Inforum. These Awards recognise customers for the great work they are doing to achieve customer, employee, operational, and financial excellence. Industry Award Categories include: Energy & Resources; Consumer Industries; Distribution; Healthcare; Hospitality; Manufacturing; Public Sector; and Service Industries. The Role-Based Award Categories include: CIO of the Year; Cloud Architect of the Year; and Chief Data Officer of the Year. An additional Special 2020 Award Category has been added and will go to the customer which showed the greatest Innovation in the Time of COVID-19.

    “It’s time to discover, connect and get inspired at the ultimate Infor customer event. By attending Inforum 2020: The digital experience, you’re setting yourself up for future success. This unique, virtual event offers immense opportunities for you to network and engage with Infor experts, our partner community, and your peers,” concludes Ramdaw.
