What to expect at TechEd Day at FORWARD VI: Where AI and automation insight become innovation

There’s a reason FORWARD draws thousands of people from around the world year after year. Yes, it’s great to meet with fellow automation enthusiasts and practitioners to share ideas and insight. It’s inspiring to see how companies are putting UiPath technology to work to help them innovate at speed, drive efficiency, and transform experiences for their customers and employees. And FORWARD wouldn’t be FORWARD without hearing from UiPath executives and industry thought leaders on the future of artificial intelligence (AI) and business automation. 

But the people who come to FORWARD are looking for even more. They’re the people who are passionate about taking a great idea from the drawing board to reality. They’re the ones who love to roll up their sleeves and dive into the details of automation solutions, so they can turn inspiration into innovation. And they come to FORWARD to get the technical know-how to make it happen. 

In fact, previous FORWARD attendees have told us that they want even more technical content and education. That’s the idea behind the first-ever TechEd Day at FORWARD VI. TechEd Day is specifically designed for automation developers and technical users who want to get hands-on with UiPath products, see demos of the latest capabilities, and join in interactive Q&A sessions with UiPath product experts. 

You asked for more technical content at FORWARD. We listened. And we delivered. Here’s a quick look at what TechEd Day has to offer.
