Accenture Innovation Forum

Accenture turned to XDA to engage their most vital audience: the C-Suite. Each year, we’d made their Innovation Forum a highly-selective, must-see showcase of their latest breaking thought leadership — and it was time to take it up a notch, yet again. XDA brought to life Accenture’s core message of “epic disruption in the post-digital era” in two dynamic days of plenary sessions that covered everything from geopolitics to quantum computing. Relationship building and thought leadership at the core of the forum. The theme of “Beyond” created an architecture to unify content that covered disruptions in everything from geopolitics to medicine to quantum computing. An opening keynote from Accenture CIO and thought leader Paul Dauigherty set the tone for epic disruption with truly epic content. Dynamic, strategic, narrative-based, and tailored to the specific business needs of the hand-selected audience, the keynote didn’t just tell a disruption story - it showed it. Outside the general sessions, event highlights included an Innovation Showcase of next-generation thinkers; a lunch with Roots co-founder Questlove, who shared his views on creativity; and a performance from rapper Wyclef Jean. Attendees also flocked to an interactive sound-art exhibit, developed in collaboration with renowned artists Foo/Skou, that traveled from the floor of the Accenture Innovation Forum to the floor of the Museum of Modern Art.
