For more than 21 years, Technology Vision has been Accenture’s premier thought-leadership program. Senior analysts within the business look ahead 3-5 years to predict how technology will shape business and society in the near-term. To launch the Vision, Accenture would typically host a live event in both San Francisco and New York, to 120 of their diamond clients and press. Following that would be a year-long program of regional versions around the world.

Of course, Covid-19 changed things.

For the first time, Technology Vision would become a virtual event. So with a timescale of just three weeks, an approach to both the virtual interface, attendee digital experience and content format had to be developed in rapid time. And the associated content and promotion had to be created and deployed too.
