Appian continues to spearhead the movement towards SMAC, and several of our most renowned customers will share and be recognized for program excellence during the Summit. The Queensland Government, Melbourne Airport, and Crawford & Company will spark new ideas, including tools, tactics, techniques and technologies to adapt current operations and reinvent business processes to become a successful digital organization.
