The new year is upon us, which means new challenges and new opportunities. What does the future hold for IT and security? Will there be better integration and broader adoption of new technologies, or will we continue to struggle with the same issues?

These questions and more will be addressed at the Predict 2020 Virtual Summit, our annual online event during which we ponder the future of cybersecurity, DevOps, serverless, digital transformation and IT. This year’s event will be held Jan. 23 and features an impressive lineup of industry luminaries offering up their visions for 2020 and beyond.

Among the keynote speakers for this daylong event are analysts, practitioners, venture capitalists and thought leaders, each with their perspective on the trends, tools and technologies most likely to impact the IT and security space. Those scheduled to speak include:

We also have a full slate of panel discussions featuring industry speakers on topics spanning the industry at large, from IoT security and continuous delivery in a Kubernetes world to the state of analytics and scaling enterprise DevOps. Each panel is sure to be chock-full of lively discussion and insight from those in the know.
