Business Longevity: Managing Disruption, Maximizing ROI.

Enterprises are constantly challenged to achieve their business goals in today's rapidly changing ecosystem. Stakeholders expect continuous growth and survival in the long term. This implies that Companies need to have a strategic approach to create a resilient organization that can withstand these changes in the markets, disruptive developments, and unforeseen challenges.

Companies that demonstrate agility in their evolution and innovation are successful in addressing these disruptions and generate optimal returns. Every activity and transaction are gaining visibility due to its impact on the natural resources. This creates a tussle between economic development, environmental health, and social welfare.

We are hosting this conference to bring together Practitioners and Thought Leaders across Industries so that we may all learn from each other and succeed better in our focus on these key aspects. This Conference has four broad sub-themes:

1. Eco-friendly AI strategy - A green AI strategy focuses on implementing AI in a way that minimizes environmental impact. Such a strategy can focus on:

• Energy Efficiency: This could involve using more efficient algorithms, optimizing hardware, or utilizing specialized hardware designed for AI workloads.
• Data Efficiency: Minimizing amount of data required for training and operating AI models.
• Lifelong Learning: Design AI models that can learn and adapt continuously.

2. Cloud solutions for sustainable development - Cloud solutions play a crucial role in promoting sustainable development in several ways such as:

• Energy Efficiency: Cloud providers can have energy efficient data centers that have reduced energy consumption compared to their traditional on-premise counterparts. Also, cloud solutions enable remote working and collaboration.
• Resource Optimization: Virtualization and dynamic allocation of resources can help in reducing environment footprint and enhancing scalability that can in turn reduce need for physical commute and office space. This can lead to reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
• Paperless Operations: Cloud solutions can support digital documentation thereby reducing the need for paper and its production.
• IoT and Smart Systems: Cloud platforms are essential for managing and processing data from IoT devices and smart systems. This helps in optimal usage of resources in various sectors, like, energy, agriculture and transportation.

3. DevOps Culture for continuous improvement - DevOps culture emphasizes continuous collaboration, automation, and feedback loops. It encourages teams in:

• Automation and continuous integration and deployment: This involves automating repetitive tasks, integrating code changes frequently, releasing code to production reliably. This also involves integration of security and performance of applications early in the cycle.
• Monitoring and Feedback Loops: Implement robust monitoring to track the performance of applications and infrastructure. Use feedback to make data driven decisions for improvements.
• Adaptability: Be flexible to change and evolving technologies, user needs and business requirements.

4. AR-VR for immersive experience - Industries are finding innovative ways to leverage AR and VR for training, simulations, entertainment, education, design and many more. Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality and Metaverse are technologies that provide immersive experience through:

• 360 degree experience: Users can explore and interact with a simulated world in all directions.
• Overlay of Digital Content: AR overlays digital elements onto the real world, often viewed through a smartphone or AR headset.
• Enhanced Real world perception: It enhances what users see, hear and feel by adding virtual elements to the physical environment.

We are inviting proposals for various types of sessions, like Presentation of a Case study, Presentation on a Research paper, Demonstration or a Workshop in the Conference addressing these four subthemes.
