these emerging technologies enable users to unlock new levels of
productivity, insight, and efficiency in the digital enterprise. The
event will be held in Boston’s Seaport Innovation District, and

presentations, and powerful Keynote speakers set in an immersive,
interactive technology playground. This year’s theme places a strong
focus on providing the expected 6,000+ attendees with a personalized,
connected journey that shows how people are complemented by technology
rather than replaced by it.
Innovators Take the Stage at LiveWorx
LiveWorx will showcase
influential technology trailblazers, bestselling authors, and futurists.

and making them even more powerful. Bringing this theme of an augmented
workforce to life are:
