Events DAM LA 2026 The Right Way to Select Technology - Lessons from the Front Lines

FACT:

Too many organizations still choose technology the wrong way. Have selection teams that are dazzled by demos, swayed by salespeople, and rush toward RFP deadlines. Unfortunate consequence: overspending on misaligned solutions.

There is a better way:

The panel of seasoned practitioners and analysts discuss better paths to the promised land: how enterprise leaders navigated complex selections to deliver best-of-breed and technology suites that survived the test of time (and lived to tell the tale).

  • Unpacking what “the right way” really looks like.
  • Grounding decisions in user needs.
  • Mapping capabilities to future-state use cases.
  • Designing effective proof-of-concept scenarios.
  • Building internal alignment before even talking to a vendor. 

PLUS:

How AI, modular architectures, and shifting vendor ecosystems are changing the rules of the game.

Delivering:

Practical frameworks, cautionary tales, and a renewed sense of control over your technology future.

  • How to define the business and user requirements that truly matter.
  • Why demos and RFPs often fail and how to make them work.
  • How to compare vendors objectively.
