TO THE STARS! PROPEL YOUR DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION FORWARD.

What does it take to accelerate your digital transformation? From being bold, to gaining influence, to leveraging a community of experts to create and innovate.

Using personal stories and images, Dr Garrett Reisman will bring to life the vision you need to thrive in a world where technology is accelerating faster than ever. We’ll discuss his time at NASA, lessons learnt, innovation at SpaceX and look ahead to the next era of human spaceflight.

We’ll also welcome a Coupa customer for a discussion of what leadership looks like and how challenging the status quo has allowed them to accelerate digital transformation with a future-proof, agile IT architecture to deliver business value.

You’ll join a small group of around 10 executive-level IT peers. With time for networking and questions for Dr Garrett Reisman and our Coupa customer, this could be a great opportunity to become smarter, together.
