Advancements in technology can help to create new opportunities, launch worldwide trends or fall flat. How do you decipher which technology advancements can help your company shine and which innovations are simply ‘here today, flop tomorrow?’

Judith Hurwitz has explored these very questions and more in her latest book, Smart or Lucky: How Technology Leaders Turn Chance Into Success. Her insight into the hits and misses in technological advancements makes Hurwitz a star attraction at ITEXPO East.

Tonight only, kick off ITEXPO (News - Alert) in style with Avaya and Hurwitz at a special pre-conference seminar and evening networking event. Hosted by the Avaya DevConnect Program, the event will take place from 5PM-10PM at the Miami Beach Convention Center, Hall B 217/218.

Avaya (News - Alert) and Hurwitz will tackle some of the most challenging technology transitions IT organizations are facing today, specifically collaboration enablement and cloud computing.

The co-author of Cloud Computing for Dummies will draw on her latest book to explore reasons why some technologies appear to be a overnight success, while others literally take decades to reach critical mass. Hurwitz will also share 10 rules that determine the difference between technology adoption and simple failure.

Plus, attendees will also gain insight from Hurwitz on how collaboration and cloud computing are poised to make or break transitions in technology.

Once Hurwitz and Avaya complete their presentations, refreshments will also be available for attendees as they network with other ITEXPO participants before the official conference opening.
