The artificial intelligence (AI) revolution is accelerating, transforming the way we live, work and do business. As organisations navigate this rapidly evolving environment, the Dell Technologies Forum returns to Dublin on October 8th, providing senior leaders and IT experts with a key opportunity to embrace the power of AI in their organisation and fuel growth.
Taking place at the Convention Centre Dublin, the event features a range of expert speakers covering topics from AI & cyber security to Edge computing and advancing sustainability in the AI era, and will provide practical insights for decision makers on unlocking the power of AI-powered innovation in their organisation.
Fresh from her inspirational performance in Paris, Irish Olympian and national sprinting record holder, Rhasidat Adeleke, will take to the stage to share insights from the world of elite sport on achieving peak performance on and off the track. A rising star in athletics, she holds seven individual Irish national track records and is a European mixed relay champion.
Bruce Daisley, former head of Twitter Europe, Middle East, and Africa, will join her to share his insights on how leaders can build a high-performance team culture in the workplace where innovation can best flourish. Bruce is one of the most influential voices and thought leaders on workplace culture and the future of work in the AI era.
The event will also hear from Jason Ward, EMEA North vice-president and managing director of Dell Technologies Ireland, on the key opportunities and challenges facing Irish businesses as they embrace the power of AI and other emerging technologies.
With many organisations struggling to keep pace with rapid advances in AI and related innovation, Forum speakers will analyse the findings of Dell’s Innovation Catalyst Study 2024. Profiling over 100 organisations across Ireland, this research analyses the current state of AI adoption across every sector of the economy and how the technology is being used to enhance growth.
Findings from the Innovation Catalyst Study show that while most businesses in Ireland (71 per cent) believe they are well positioned to harness the power of AI, the extent to which organisations are prepared for the rapid pace of change varies greatly. Nearly half of organisations (49 per cent) report struggling to keep pace with advancements in GenAI and other technologies. Lack of the right talent (43 per cent), lack of budget (33 per cent) and an outdated technology environment (32 per cent) are all highlighted as key challenges facing decision makers as they advance AI-related innovation.
It is increasingly clear that in this rapidly evolving environment, businesses need to take urgent action to invest in the right technology infrastructure and avoid risk being left behind the innovation curve.
Dell Technologies provides businesses and organisations across Ireland with solutions and expertise that unlock the power of AI, automate intelligent decisions and help define their paths to the future.
As a leader in compute and storage, Dell has a successful track record of helping organisation embrace transformation at speed. Our range of AI infrastructural solutions enable businesses to scale AI from proof of concept to production and run AI workloads wherever needed.

At the Dell Technologies Forum, business leaders will explore how they can leverage the power of the technology to enhance productivity, drive growth and inspire new ways of doing business.
Speaking at the launch of Dell Technologies Forum 2024, Ward said: “The tremendous potential of AI to revolutionise every sector of the economy and enhance productivity has become increasingly clear. In a rapidly shifting environment, it is crucial that business and IT leaders take urgent action to embrace the power of AI and other emerging technologies to unlock growth and position themselves for future success.
“Through this year’s Dell Technologies Forum in Dublin, we will provide important insights for business and IT decision makers across the country on how they can accelerate innovation in the era of AI. By connecting the business community with industry leading experts at Forum, we’re helping to fuel the next wave of AI innovation across the island of Ireland and empower Irish businesses to become AI leaders.”
