Bring your people, technologies and business up a gear.

Has your organisation’s digital momentum slowed? Feel like you’re the only business struggling to make AI work? Or maybe you’re looking to grow your talented teams to prepare for an exciting road ahead.

If any of these ring true for you, you’re not alone. While 87% of businesses scaled back their digital transformation plans in the last 12 months, Ireland’s economic decision-makers are excited about the future and 73% are planning for a stronger economy in the next year.

Join us at the BTI 2024 Launch Event, for insights like these, and more. We’ll provide you with unique insights and an exclusive preview of our latest renowned annual report, the Business Transformation Index (BTI) 2024. We’ll explore current challenges and uncover solutions and opportunities. This event brings together Ireland’s top business leaders, experts and commentators to discuss how to give your business a competitive edge.

An expert line-up of speakers and guests will explore some of the key themes in this year’s report, helping you to discover:

  • The key to gaining competitive advantage using responsible AI – with real-world examples;
  • Vital steps for leveraging your data to unlock smart decisions for your organisation;
  • The role of culture in today’s workplace and strategies to ease the impact of skills shortages; and
  • How to respond to economic optimism by preparing for a new wave of growth for your business


Are you an ambitious business or technology leader looking to elevate your team, technologies, and business? This event is designed for you, preparing you for what comes next.
