Dell Technologies Forum 2024 will bring together technology leaders and professionals on 7 November 2024 in Johannesburg, for an immersive experience focused on the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI).

Themed “Accelerating AI-Powered Innovation,” this year’s forum will demonstrate how AI is providing deeper data insights, enhancing productivity, and enabling new ways of conducting business.

Doug Woolley, GM and vice-president for Dell Technologies South Africa, says: “AI is a transformative technology that is redefining how businesses operate. Dell’s approach to AI is comprehensive and integrated across every level of the AI technology stack, from accelerated compute systems to AI-powered storage and networking solutions. ​

“At Dell Technologies, we are committed to providing AI solutions that empower our customers to innovate and unlock their full potential; and Dell Technologies Forum will showcase how our broad portfolio of AI solutions—from desktop to data centre to cloud— are helping businesses embrace their digital future.”

At the forum, the E-Waste Recycling Authority (ERA), an organisation dedicated to e-waste management, infrastructure and networks in South Africa, along with Dell, are simplifying the process of responsible and compliant e-waste disposal. An ERA e-waste bin will be available at the entrance of the venue, encouraging attendees to bring their unwanted e-waste. This initiative serves to support the development of a more sustainable circular economy in the country.

Dell recently received a Pioneers Award of Recognition from ERA. The award recognises Dell’s pioneering role in sustainability as well as its leadership in Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) compliance and commitment to managing e-waste responsibly.

As well as Woolley, Dell Technologies’ speakers at the opening session include Todd Lieb, vice-president: cloud partnerships and Mohammed Amin, senior vice-president: CEEMETA,.
