Level Up Your Technology at Datacentrix Showcase 2024 Digital Experience Lab

Arno Hanekom, Digital Strategist at Datacentrix.

A highlight of Datacentrix’s Showcase is not to be missed – the dedicated Digital Experience Lab, which will use elements of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI) to provide delegates with an immersive experience that engages all of their senses.

Datacentrix Showcase 2024 will take place on Thursday 22 August 2024 at Montecasino in Johannesburg.

Arno Hanekom, Digital Strategist at Datacentrix, says: “The Datacentrix Showcase promises to be a great content resource, with compelling presentations from industry experts on relevant use case implementations. However, as the Asian proverb says, ‘It’s better to see something once than to hear about it a thousand times.’ That’s why we’re introducing the Digital Experience Lab at this year’s event, a strictly ‘Dancing with Data’ zone that will allow attendees to move away from traditional spoken word sessions and truly explore the combination of technologies that can help accelerate value for businesses.”

The Digital Experience Lab will span six technology disciplines with a focus on developing business use cases for a broad range of industries. It will be divided into two sections, including an experience lab and a new “Showcase Special” zone.

“The Digital Experience Lab is all about exploring where technology can be used to help improve customer experiences, and the solutions we showcase will be ready for deployment in sectors such as mining, healthcare, automotive, agriculture, financial services and retail,” he explains. “In addition to industry use cases, we will also be able to walk delegates through use cases across business lines, in areas that are common across sectors, such as human resources (HR), finance and IT.

“The Digital Experience Lab will bring the Datacentrix Digital Business Solutions team under one roof, providing a great opportunity to leverage our broad expertise and answer the business and technology questions that keep executives awake at night.

“In addition to the lab, the Datacentrix Digital Business Solutions team designed an AI bot to provide delegates with an informed and tangible experience on the day – this means that not only will Datacentrix staff be there to help, but attendees won’t need to look any further than their phones for information,” Hanekom states.

The Digital Experience Lab will be located on the outdoor area of Montecasino.
