"Planning as we know it is dead," was the keynote message delivered by Jim Whitehurst, Red Hat CEO, at the 2017 Red Hat Summit. "Planning in a less-known environment is ineffective." In today’s world, the pace of innovation and disruption is accelerating in business. With that comes change, which can jar, or break plans quickly and in some instances be extremely costly. Hence, agility and ability to react to change quickly is a necessity. Enterprise integration is at the heart of every organization's IT architecture. It is necessary. But it is often a bottleneck.

As most industries are experiencing some sort of disruption or transformation, Enterprise Agility has become one of the most import business needs in order to react, respond and stay competitive.

Under pressure to transform your business? Increase agility and reduce time to market? Or simply just go faster by getting release cycles down from years to months, or even weeks? It IS possible, with the right mix of culture and technology.

During this online conference we will discuss how to build competitive advantage leveraging new approaches, which we are referring to as Agile Integration. In the keynote we present analyst findings from global studies related to integration challenges. Afterwards, we will then break out into two separate tracks with sessions to discuss the business as well as the technology perspectives of modern integration.
