5 reasons to come to the Gold Coast for LeanIX Connect Summit (and how to make the business case for it)

Written by Ruth Reinicke | Jan 16, 2023 10:17:12 AM

September is peak conference season, which means tough decisions about what to attend. LeanIX Connect Summit is your best chance this year to network with industry peers in APAC and learn from experts who are driving innovation and digital transformation.

And since it’s free, attending in person should be a no-brainer. But you might still have to convince your boss.

The basics: LeanIX Connect Summit takes place at the Gold Coast in Australia on September 14, 2023. It’s an opportunity to connect with leading IT and business professionals across all industries who work at the intersection of SaaS, EA, and DevOps management.

Gain wisdom from experienced leaders in 30+ sessions relating to an urgent theme for these times: Impact for a Better Tomorrow.

Bonus: you can preview LeanIX product roadmaps, ask questions and give direct feedback to LeanIX product owners.

If you can’t make the event at the Gold Coast, you can still catch some of the streaming sessions online. Keynotes will be live streamed and breakout sessions will be available on-demand a few days after the event. 

If you or your boss still need convincing, here are five big reasons to join us in-person for LeanIX Connect Summit:

1. Get practical transformation lessons from well-known brands

After a decade of building tools for and with the global software community, LeanIX has collected its fair share of best practices and industry contacts. Over these two days — whether via dedicated keynote sessions, presentations, or hands-on workshops — we’re giving attendees a direct look at what’s really happening in the Continuous Transformation journeys of established brands. Trends will be dissected, buzzwords will be picked apart, and company strategies will be put on display and open for discussion.
And, if you attend in person, you can ask session leaders all your burning questions.

2. Take advantage of the year’s best chance to network

Attending LeanIX Connect Summit in person means more chances to meet industry peers and participate. Sessions run from morning until evening on both days, and LeanIX employees will be available for consultation and direction. 

3. Get a first look at LeanIX’s 2023 Product Roadmap

LeanIX is providing an overview of our strategic product outlook and roadmap. This will be followed by a feature preview on numerous other roadmap items planned for or already being implemented.

4. Attend accessible sessions for everyone

Did we mention that LeanIX Connect Summit is free to attend? Our products support the transformation of entire organizations, so it only makes sense that it’s easy for every IT, software and business professional to join. What’s more, to help guests package up what they learn at the event, recordings of presentations will be made available in the days following.

5. Get the most out of your time out of the office

LeanIX Connect Summit APAC is taking place the day after the Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo, which will also be located on the Gold Coast. If you are planning to be at the Gartner event, make the most of your trip by extending your time to attend LeanIX Connect Summit.

We hope this helps! We’ve created the email template below to summarize everything. And if you can’t make it in person, you can still catch the broadcast stream and virtual networking opportunities.

Dear [INSERT NAME],

I’m hoping to attend the LeanIX Connect Summit APAC on September 14, 2023. It’s a virtual and in-person event happening live from the Gold Coast, and I’d like to attend the [choose VIRTUAL or IN-PERSON] version.

I think it’ll be extremely valuable, because the Summit is packed with two days’ worth of discussions related to Impact for a Better Tomorrow, including how this relates to EA, SaaS, and DevOps management — three disciplines which are central to our company’s IT and business transformation strategy.
Attending also gives me an opportunity to network with 500+ others and ask questions to LeanIX employees themselves.

Feel free to look at the event website for more information. If you see anything interesting or want me to ask anyone a specific question on your behalf, let me know. The event organizers are also providing recordings of presentations that I can share afterwards with you and the team.
The event is also completely free to register, so if you also wish to attend or think of others who should, please let me know.

Happy to discuss this subject further if required. I appreciate you taking the time to help me build new contacts and skills.
