EVENT SUMMARY

Automated processes for improved business management

As the market continues to transform and evolve, businesses must anticipate the next

steps and consider ways to digitally transform their business processes in order to stay

relevant and ahead of competition.

Automation is a crucial aspect of the evolution of business process management

(BPM). The need for businesses to rapidly automate processes as part of their digital

transformation journey is the main reason behind this change.

In this year’s edition of ITWeb BPM & Automation Summit, we will examine how more

companies are embracing BPM, automating processes, and letting employees focus

on strategic operations. We will also be exploring how automation has become an

important aspect of BPM as it alleviates human operators from repetitive tasks and

allows them to focus on more important responsibilities and tasks. We will also look at

how BPM has evolved with the addition of intelligent technologies.

BPM continues to embrace technological innovations. Therefore; as a vendor, this is a

perfect opportunity to meet with decision makers and influencers, from both leading and

upcoming industries that want to know more about the disrupting technologies on offer

in the Business Process Management industry. Join us to showcase your technologies,

services and solutions and how these can change and transform how businesses are

executing and managing their business processes.

Speaker guidelines for Sponsors:

Process for nominating a speaker for the event:

Please note that as a sponsor, you are very welcome to submit a presentation proposal

and we will consider all proposals received seriously. However, please note that unless

you are a Diamond, Platinum or Gold Sponsor, you are not automatically guaranteed

a speaking slot. Should you wish to nominate a speaker for ITWeb BPM & Automation

2020, please send the following to the conference producer, Vineshia Petersen,

[email protected]:

1. Details of your proposed speaker, including job title, a brief bio and photo

2. A brief (paragraph or two) synopsis of your proposed presentation

3. Key takeaway points for the delegates (4-5)

If possible, please submit a case study proposal and co-present with a client. These

presentations have a much higher probability of being accepted and will take preference

in terms of positioning on the programme. However, you will need to provide the

details of your client’s speaker at the time that you submit the proposal in order for it

to be considered.

Please note that we do have deadlines in terms of the programme which we kindly ask

that you respect. Unless you have come on board as a sponsor very close to the event,

you will need to provide the above information at least 2 months in advance of the

conference taking place, otherwise it is unlikely that we will be able to accommodate

your speaker on the programme. If you have signed up as a sponsor within two months



of the event running, a speaking slot will be considered if there is still space on the

programme. However, this will be at the discretion the conference producer.

Please also refer to the speaker guidelines.

Speaker guidelines

Presentations

Please be advised that if you wish to provide a speaker for the plenary or the track

sessions, no sales pitches are allowed. You are kindly requested to speak generically

about your chosen topic without referencing your company’s products or solutions (if

you are a solution provider). If your presentation is obviously a sales pitch you will be

asked by the chairperson to stop your presentation.

Where possible we would request that you put forward a senior representative who is

an industry expert and not a sales or marketing executive. Sales/marketing executives

are welcome to submit a presentation proposal for the product/demo area (see below).

End-user speakers are encouraged to focus on case studies and the practical application

of the subject rather than theory. If you are a solution provider, we recommend that you

invite a client to give a joint presentation with you, as these presentations are popular

and will be given preference in terms of position on the programme.

Presentations should be content-rich and content should be up to date and relevant to

the target audience. A breakdown of job titles and industry sectors can be provided on

request.

Slides should have minimal content and not too much text. Less is more! Please also

limit the number of slides to 15-20 maximum to ensure that you don’t overrun.

We respectfully ask that our deadlines for draft and final presentations are adhered to.

If presentation deadlines are not met, unfortunately your presentation may be moved

to later in the day or removed from the programme completely.

Presentations must be presented on ITWeb AV equipment. If you have video or audio

as part of your presentation, please ensure that you send it with your draft so that we

can check that it runs on our equipment.



Product/Demo area

For our larger events, there is the option of submitting a product presentation and/or

demonstration which will take place either in an ‘auditorium’ which will be part of the

exhibition area, or in a separate track. We will still need the name, profile and photo

of the speaker and a synopsis of your proposed talk, but for these speaking slots the
