Patrick Moorhead: Six Five Summit 2024. We’re feeling really great about it. 62 sessions over three days with nearly 25 CEOs and presidents, over 18 hours of total content about AI and how you get AI in the enterprise to light it up. And of course, the continued build out on the cloud, on the enterprise edge, and also in devices. We talked automotive, cloud infra, connected intelligent edge, collaboration, cyber, data, DevOps, end-to-end enterprise AI platforms, enterprise apps, modern work, semiconductors, sustainability, and quantum.

Our headliners, we were so happy with, right? We had ServiceNow, Ericsson, Slack, and Smartsheet. It’s interesting, previous years most of our headliners had been what you might’ve considered infrastructure, but we had a ton of enterprise SaaS companies, with ServiceNow, Slack, and Smartsheet. I want to put a pretty awesome quote Bill McDermott had out there. He said, “We were gen AI before gen AI was cool. We actually saw this and we’ve seen this for some time. This is unlike any other revolution that I’ve ever seen. We’ve been through the internet, cloud computing, the iPhone moment, but I really believe the AI moment is bigger than all those combined.

And when you ask me what’s going on in the market, my world revolves around my customers and their world. I’ve never seen a moment where every CEO is so personally activated in this massive technology shift. This is a once in a generation move.” That is the awesomeness that you can get for the next two weeks. Sign up, baby. That’s the only way that you can get the content, and content not just from the four companies that I’ve talked about, but also the track openers from HP, IBM, Samsung, Azure, Cohesity, and T-Mobile and 60+ companies in totality.

Daniel Newman: Yeah, no, it was a great event, Pat. I know we’ve got to roll. 40+ companies, 60 some odd speakers, thousands of registrations and people viewing the content concurrently. We are going to be distributing this content into clips and social two weeks out from now, but in the meantime, register, be part of it. Get this stuff. I mean great keynotes, great track sessions, a ton of value chucked in the spotlights too, Pat. This thing was jam-packed. Can’t wait to get feedback from more of you and to have many of you back as our partners as we know you’re watching this thing. Thank you all so much. Appreciate the community. It’s been a blast. Fifth year, we’ll see what’s in store for year six.

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
