What to Expect from Workday Rising 2024
This year’s event, held at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, will focus on the theme of moving work “forever forward.”
It’s an apt theme for a conference that historically propels the industry into the future and embraces the latest innovations, including Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI).
If you attended last year’s conference, you’ll remember the exciting announcement of the Workday AI Marketplace. The marketplace was created to help customers easily find and deploy AI and Machine Learning (ML) partner solutions.
Rising 2023 also highlighted Workday AI Gateway, a solution to provide developers with access to Workday AI and ML services.
Workday has been committed to harnessing the power of Generative AI to move businesses into the future. This year’s event promises to deliver on that theme.
