Overview

Forrester Technology & Innovation Summit EMEA is Forrester Research’s regional conference for technology, data, security, and innovation leaders.

Its subject coverage includes technology strategy, enterprise architecture, AI, data and analytics, infrastructure, security, cloud, and emerging technologies.

History

Colony and provides research, advisory, consulting, and events focused on business and technology. The EMEA summit has evolved to cover technology strategy, enterprise architecture, security, data, analytics, AI, infrastructure, and emerging technologies. Recent editions have combined analyst keynotes, more than 40 sessions, workshops, executive programs, networking, and optional certification activities.

Reputation

The summit is positioned as a professional research and peer-learning forum rather than a consumer technology exhibition. Its perceived strengths are access to Forrester analysts, region-specific enterprise case studies, structured workshops, and coverage spanning AI, data, technology strategy, and security. Potential limitations are that much of the value depends on attendees’ ability to apply analyst frameworks, while pricing and access details for some programs are not publicly disclosed.
