Before you ask

Questions

What is Automate 2027?

A one-day, in-person conference on digital workplace operations, end-user automation and the practical impact of generative AI in IT. It runs on shared experience between practitioners rather than vendor-led talks.

When and where is it?

Bangalore, India. We're targeting late February 2027, matching the previous two editions. Exact date and venue are confirmed closer to the event and go to the notify list first.

Is this an Anakage sales event?

No. Anakage organises and funds it, but speaker selection is neutral and vendor-driven talks are filtered out. One track covers the Anakage platform explicitly and is labelled as such, so you can skip it.

Who should come?

Digital workplace and IT operations practitioners, automation and endpoint management professionals, IT support, DEX and platform engineers, and students working on the future of IT and AI.

Can I submit a talk?

Yes, once submissions open. Practitioners, independent professionals and students are all welcome. A neutral panel reviews every proposal on practical relevance, originality and clarity. Speaking is unpaid and community-driven.

What does the student track involve?

Teams pick one of two real-world problem statements, then design, build and present an automation-driven solution. Mentors support you through it and practitioners judge on creativity, impact and execution. Early-stage prototypes are welcome.

Does it cost anything?

Delegate passes are free. Capacity is limited by the venue, so registration closes when the room fills.
