Blue Prism, the leading developer of enterprise Robotic Process Automation (RPA) software, today announced that CEO Alastair Bathgate will present at Xconomy Robo Madness West, happening April 7 in Menlo Park, Calif.
At the conference, Bathgate will conduct a fireside chat, moderated by Xconomy editor Bruce Bigelow, to discuss the opportunities for robots in the white collar workplace. He will explain how RPA technology can be effectively deployed to free people from time-consuming, simple tasks, and open new doors for more fulfilling careers and innovative businesses and markets.
Xconomy Robo Madness, now in its fourth year, draws tech and business professionals from the Bay Area and beyond to explore top trends in the robotics industry. Touching on emerging technologies ranging from drone delivery systems to enterprise RPA software, conference speakers will address how robots can be tapped to solve real-world business and market challenges.
Bathgate will underscore the massive opportunity for robotic automation to create endless possibilities for innovation. Pointing to research findings such as how 47 percent of US jobs are expected to be automated in the next two decades, as well as real world applications, he will explain how robots are poised to take on core operational processes in organizations across industries. Bathgate will offer session attendees a framework for preparing for this inevitable workforce shift, detailing which roles are well-suited for robots and how human capital can be reallocated to optimize opportunities for business and innovation. Business and market advancement will, in turn, foster economic growth and drive the creation of new jobs.
“The robot revolution is upon us, plain and simple,” said Bathgate. “In fact, robots will be one of the biggest job creators in the near future, so businesses and workers alike need to embrace virtual workforces. There is huge opportunity for people to focus their brainpower on more strategic, creative and interpersonal work – the kind of work that drives innovation and economic growth. That’s what I aim to provide at Robo Madness.”
