AI as a transformative force
Artificial intelligence will be the focal point of this year's discussions, as speakers delve into its potential to reshape industries and drive innovation. Keynotes and panel discussions will explore AI's capabilities to spur economic growth, enhance healthcare and education, and push forward scientific discoveries. The event will also look at the need for responsible AI development through partnerships between the public and private sectors.
Sandy Kunvatanagarn, Head of Policy for APAC at OpenAI, said, “AI can be a truly transformative technology, with the potential to drive faster economic growth, improve healthcare and education, inspire new scientific discoveries, and open up new horizons for creativity. Partnerships with both public and private sectors are critical to ensuring AI's safe development and broad benefit distribution.”
Alongside the AI discussions, the event will cover a range of digital transformation topics through various co-located shows, including Cloud Expo Asia, Cyber Security World, DevOps Live, Big Data & AI World, eCommerce Expo, and Data Centre World.
Expanded shows and professional opportunities
This year's event promises an expanded showcase of industries, technologies, and innovations.

The demand for data centre solutions in the Asia-Pacific region is at an all-time high, and the expanded Data Centre World will cater to this growth with a 75% increase in space and an enhanced exhibitor line-up.
