To navigate the complexities that come with hybrid workforces and the explosion of new tools, companies need to embrace an AI-enabled collaborative work management solution.
In this session with Wrike’s Brian Kelley, you’ll learn:
- Lessons gleaned from IT leaders on managing an at-home workforce.
- The role that AI-enabled collaborative work management will play in the future of IT and working remotely.
- The top three priorities of successful IT teams managing distributed workforces.

In today’s digital landscape, the role of the CIO and CISO has become the most dynamic amongst their peers. Executives are focused on finding the most transformative technologies that enable them to bring value to their enterprise and customers.
Adopting an enterprise wide transformation strategy is driven by fundamental shifts in internal and external forces that impact the business and how it operates. Disruptive technologies are being introduced to the market faster than ever and executives must have the ability to align and address the enterprise-wide transformation challenges. These changes will ultimately influence strategic planning, business operations and the overall trajectory of the operating model moving forward. With unceasing demands, technology has become more complex and solution providers more difficult to decipher.
Apex Assembly will unite visionary leaders and industry experts for a half day of content and discussion, where we will examine the challenges of 2021 and concentrate on the futures most pressing issues of 2022 in the information technology sector.
Through collaboration with our executive community, we have discovered key industry challenges and trends. These topics form the foundation of the Summit and will be addressed through Panels, Disrupter sessions, and Fireside chats.
Hosted using video conferencing technology, our Virtual Summit gives executives and service providers the opportunity to engage with like-minded executives and industry leaders without having to leave their office or home.
