////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// FEATURE: GITEX 2019 Cutting-edge trends come to life at GITEX 2019 The most important week in the international technology calendar for the last 39 years, GITEX Technology Week is a must- attend, world-class event hosted in Dubai from October 6–10 2019. This is where technology leaders, enterprises and start-ups from around the world come together to show visitors the future of every business and industry before it happens. www.intelligentcio.com G ITEX 2019 brings together all the stakeholders in the technology economy to work towards a mindful balance between the unbridled power of technology and the human mind, to set the collaboration guidelines for man and machine and to lead the creation of a new techno- human society. Technology has shifted the boundaries of what we once envisioned as impossible, and its usage has been linked to revolutionary social, economic and business transformation. The impact is powerful, real and sustainable. Through GITEX, stakeholders in the technology economy are invited to work towards the perfect synchronisation between technology and humanity, by acknowledging how they complement one another and are not mutually exclusive. We look at some of the key themes running through this year’s event. INTELLIGENTCIO 51
