Strategies for Data-driven Digital Transformation
The value that data unlocks has become increasingly clear in the past few years. Moore’s Law, big data, and artificial intelligence are providing the technology advances to fuel aspirations of an efficient and innovative organization powered by data. The journey to unlocking the value of data can be slow and difficult. This keynote will examine how to create the new value propositions that digital makes possible, and insights on how your peers are designing and scaling digital initiatives. Come join us as we look at strategies to drive your organization’s data-driven digital transformation journey.

Wednesday Keynote Speaker - Steve Dertien, Chief Technology Officer and Executive Vice President for PTC’s Office of the CTO


Featured Session Speaker - H. Brent Baker, Sr., VP, Worldwide Federal Aerospace Defense and Energy (FAD&E), Major General (USAF, Retired)


Fast Pace of Technology—Leadership Advice to Thrive
During this session, I will stress the fast pace of technology and just how this technology is impacting the FAD space.  I will also get feedback from the audience to support the ideas presented here and to solicit input for “others” that are equally being disruptive.  Then, I will provide some leadership advice/seek advice from the attendees on how best to meet/survive/thrive in this environment.  Leadership discussion will be a large part of this session.

On-site Training
We are thrilled to offer a pre-conference training Monday. Attendees have the option to add this at the time of registration. If you wish to add to your existing registration please email eventinfo@ptcuser.org.

The PTC UX Lab @ PTC/USER 2022


If you are new to the UX Lab, the lab is a venue where PTC customers and partners can lend their expertise to help PTC design great products.  We conduct 1:1 research studies to gather feedback from you to help drive design direction and improve the user experience of our products.
This is not a show-and-tell or a demo, but an opportunity to put your expertise and skills to work to engage with new product concepts and prototypes.   Based on your role and the tasks you perform in your job, participants can self-register for a session that interests them.

We have a great line up including sessions for Creo, Navigate, Windchill, IOT, Data on the Edge, the Digital Thread, SaaS and more!  As always, you’ll receive one of our collectable UX Lab t-shirts as a thank you.

Registration starts the first week of September.  Stay tuned!
UX Lab Questions?  Feel free to Kim Moroni kmoroni@ptc.com.

We look forward to seeing everyone again!
