Globally acclaimed digital analyst, author, and visionary Brian Solis took the stage at ISE 2025 on Tuesday 4 February to present the Opening Keynote. Known for his profound insights into the intersection of technology, business, and culture, Solis shared his vision on how the pro AV and systems integration industry can change and innovate through the latest developments in artificial intelligence (AI).
Solis, Head of Global Innovation bei der Cloud-basierten Plattform ServiceNow, wurde von Rethink Retail zum "Top AI Leader" für 2024 ernannt und damit als Pionier der KI-Integration gewürdigt. Er ist auch als Autor von über 60 branchenführenden Forschungspublikationen und acht Bestsellern bekannt, die sich mit disruptiven Trends, Unternehmensinnovation, Geschäftsumwandlung und Verbraucherverhalten beschäftigen. In seinen Forschungsarbeiten hat er die Auswirkungen der Digitalisierung auf Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft untersucht (und vorhergesagt) und Unternehmen und Branchen dabei unterstützt, sich zielgerichtet und mit positiven Ergebnissen zu verändern und zu innovieren.
Solis’ ISE 2025 Opening Keynote was an essential destination for attendees eager to discover why now is the time for business leaders to rethink their organisations for an AI-defined future.
He explored the future of tech development driven by AI, the opportunities, and challenges for the pro AV and systems integration business and the role each of us plays in shaping the future. He delved into why automation has become the standard rather than the objective, why augmentation is the key to setting businesses apart, and how leaders can cultivate the mindset needed to unlock the potential of becoming an AI-first, exponentially growing organisation. The keynote also addressed industry pain points such as inertia, business contact loss and outdated systems, providing solutions that restore connections and drive progress.
The Opening Keynote is followed immediately by the Future Panel Discussion - Visions of Tomorrow.
