Trending tech conferences in Europe 2024
Exploring Europe's Tech Pulse: A Guide to Trending Conferences in 2024
When the dawn of technological hurricanes made its entrance into business, trade, international relations, education, and all aspects of modern society in general, very few had the prevision of tech becoming a giant cutting-edge industry, hosting and modifying almost all professional spheres known to mankind.
Nowadays, however, the picture is bigger, clearer and costs double as many billions with each day that goes by. Technology as a notion, as a dangerously deified sector, especially in business and trade, has very sharply become the epicenter and ultimate “stakeholder” of all deals sealed behind closed doors.
Everything is single-handedly invested in technology and it tends to invest everything back in us: the comfort of our lives, our opportunities, and our capabilities. As of today, without the participation of at least one certain type of tech product in our routine, we cannot bear to imagine our living. Since the first windmills in 700–900 AD till the latest Apple Vision Pro, society has been dependent on innovations that go far beyond manual labor. And this, out of all blessings by science, is a human right and no longer a privilege.
Facts and figures in 2024
According to the latest report by Statista, If 2023 was the year of AI hype, 2024 is the year of widespread AI adoption that is set to significantly transform multiple aspects of society. In response to signs of improving economic conditions after a tough 2023, businesses in 2024 will increasingly implement new digital technologies to adapt and transform existing products and services.
Overall worldwide IT spending is forecast to increase by eight percent between 2023 and 2024, reaching approximately five trillion U.S. dollars, as organizations invest in emerging technologies to drive business and digital transformation. Key themes in 2024 revolve around widespread generative AI adoption across industries and the accompanying services to meet this demand.
