The Top 5 Highlights of Realize 2024
Realize 2024 has come to a close – It was a truly remarkable event, featuring incredible changemakers and an engaged audience. We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to our speakers and attendees for making this year’s Realize the best yet.
This global event attracted participants from a myriad of countries, furthering our mission of driving digital transformation worldwide. From insightful sessions to energetic live chats, the discussions and insights shared were invaluable. In case you missed it or just want to relive the highlights, here are our top 5 experiences from Realize 2024.
1. The Keynote
We kicked off Realize with an incredible keynote that explored the future of work and driving change. This keynote was delivered by our CEO, Dan Adika, and serial entrepreneur and investor Josh Linkner. Dan delved into the future of WalkMe, DAP, and AI, while Josh laid down some knowledge on how to bring about this future on an individual level, proving that anyone can be a changemaker.
This session featured incredible anecdotes about people who made small changes that resulted in significant impacts. One story highlighted a man who won the bid for the Panama Canal to be built in Panama over Nicaragua. Another story shared how a person with zero sports management experience transformed a bankrupt baseball team into the most profitable one in the world. And there were many more cool stories and advice shared—check it out now! Josh’s insight was not only incredibly useful but also dazzlingly intriguing.
While Josh was imparting his wisdom, Dan introduced WalkMe’s latest and biggest product innovation to date: WalkMe(X), which will transform the way we work.
2. WalkMe(X)
To say this product reveal was a huge step for WalkMe is an understatement. WalkMeX is the child of years of labor built on our DeepUI and data that we’ve been iterating on for years to bring you the next great tech for digital workplace transformation, this one of a, and first of it’s kind platform was truly a labor of love that we only thought – to share and celebrate at our flagship event Realize!
WalkMeX – the world’s first contextually aware copilot that delivers the next best action for any workflow across any application. This revolutionary AI innovation is poised to transform the way we work. Only WalkMeX delivers AI assistance in the flow of work, no need to prompt or learn how to use AI. It‘s always-on, looking for ways to help. When users have questions, they can engage WalkMeX in a chat right then and there, no need to switch apps or context.
WalkMeX’s AI-powered capabilities include enterprise search, assisted reading, generative writing, and form input validation. But unlike other copilots that stop at text-to-text, our copilot can also enable text-to-action, serving up the next best actions across any application and workflow.
3. WalkMe Office Watch Parties
While Realize 2024 was held online as a virtual event, we brought the experience to life with office watch parties. These gatherings showed both the success of Realize and the WalkMe employees dedication in action. Our team worked together to create an engaging experience that connected us all, despite being in different locations.
These parties were a celebration of our employees who built this incredible event. We recognized their hard work in helping businesses improve their digital processes. Realize 2024 highlighted our aim to make positive changes in how companies use technology across various industries.
By watching together, we reinforced our sense of community and shared purpose, highlighting WalkMe’s role as a leader in digital adoption.
