General Program
These sessions are developed with everyone in mind. We will open each day with a general session to bring everyone together. General sessions will include Dave and Aneel's opening keynote, other daily keynotes on Tuesday and Wednesday, and the "Collaborate and Close" ending Q&A with our executive team.
Presenters: Dave Duffield and Aneel Bhusri, Workday Co-Founders
Kick off the conference with a lively, informative, and strategic company overview with Workday CEO Dave Duffield and President Aneel Bhusri. They’ll set the stage for the rest of the sessions and get you fired up for an unforgettable Workday Rising experience.
Presenters: Stan Swete, Mark Nittler, and Christine Ferguson, Workday
Attend our quarterly Release Planning Update live instead of through a webinar. Hear our strategy leaders celebrate Workday 6, review Workday 7, and discuss what they’re thinking about for 2009 and beyond. This session is relevant to all attendees.
This optional group of sessions on late Monday afternoon offers a chance for you to brainstorm with product managers and other Workday customers to influence the direction of Stock Events, Recruiting, Benefits, Multi-Job, and Life In Production programs. If you have a vested interest in any of these topucs, please consider participating in these candid, open-floor discussions. No pre-registration necessary.
