The event

Martin Ford’s The Rise of the Robots was the Winner of the FT’s Business Book of the Year 2015… It seems like an eternity ago… Ford prophesized that “intelligent algorithms are already well on their way to making white collar jobs obsolete…” The reality is more nuanced with both success stories and failures in the deployment of digital workers in production.

Drawing on the results of a Reply survey conducted in September 2021 in Luxembourg and the lessons drawn by Business, Operations and Technology professionals, this event will take stock of the successes and failures of process automation in Asset Management (in particular, in Luxembourg ManCo’s), Asset Servicing and Wealth Management.

Our panel will take an uncompromising look at the robots and share their insights regarding the do’s and the don’ts when seeking to optimise processes, including – among other options – with the introduction of Robotic and Intelligent Process Automation (RPA & IPA).

The event will be followed by drinks and canapes. Participants will have the opportunity to have a look at a selection of booths where Reply’ers will showcase a selection of Robotic Process Automation, Intelligent Process Automation and Chatbot examples.

This event is aimed at senior Business, Operations and Technology professionals in Luxembourg.
