The inaugural AVEVA World Digital in June 2020 demonstrated the great desire that global leaders and key decision-makers, in the manufacturing sector, now have for virtual events, in our new working environment. Leaders are frequently understanding the benefits of being able to participate from the comfort of their desks and encounter the latest technology innovations delivered straight to their device of choice, explained Lisa Johnston CMO at AVEVA.

As we observe the new working practices teams are exploring, there are many lessons to be shared, as businesses of all sizes leverage enabling technologies like digital twin, Cloud and artificial intelligence to accelerate their way to Industry 4.0. Taking the best technology solutions helps differentiate thriving organizations from those barely surviving in our reconnecting world.

AWD offers the opportunity to review and explore some of the most innovative solutions, and thats why were delighted to welcome more than 4000 delegates this August, Johnston concluded.
