Meet Kong at Gartner Application Innovation & Business Solutions Summit 2021

Josh Molina

Join Kong at this year's Gartner Application Innovation & Business Solutions Summit. The much anticipated virtual event will feature thought leaders like Kong CTO and Co-Founder Marco Palladino.

Gartner's Summit brings together application leaders from around the world to improve the way they architect, develop and integrate applications that enable composable business. And Kong will be there in both the U.S. (May 26 – 27) and EMEA (June 16 – 17) sessions.

Delivering Innovation

Kong was recently named a Leader in the 2020 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Full Lifecycle API Management. Kong CTO and Co-Founder Marco Palladino will lead a live session at the Gartner Application Innovation & Business Solutions Summit, sharing three strategies to deliver innovation in the middle of transformation.

The fact is 62% of technology leaders are actively pursuing innovation but are slowed by technical debt. Overcoming these challenges means having reliability, security and observability within distributed applications. In this session, Marco discusses how connectivity is helping companies leverage their legacy application investments into new innovations, while paying off technical debt and accelerating their businesses into new markets.

Application Innovation & Business Solutions

Gartner Application Innovation & Business Solutions Summit 2021 is the place to learn from trusted Gartner experts and share ideas with other IT and business leaders. It's an opportunity to discover new insights to help craft an application and software engineering strategy to meet business needs.

Sessions will focus on the following themes:

  • Innovation

Create a modern, agile applications organization capable of powering innovation and digital transformation.

  • Strategy

Help your organization to transform into an intelligent, composable business with an adaptable, resilient application and software engineering strategy.

  • Technology

Navigate the complexities of Microservices, Platform-as-a-Service, APIs, Cloud Native Architectures, AI, Digital Experience Platforms and more.
