As organizations navigate a rapidly changing technology landscape, Constellation Research will bring more than 250 senior executives, board members, technology leaders, and innovators together for Constellation's Connected Enterprise 2026, taking place October 26–29 at the Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay.
Connected Enterprise is Constellation's flagship executive summit, designed to move beyond traditional conference presentations and create an environment for candid conversations, peer-to-peer exchange, and practical insights. The event brings together leaders who are actively shaping how emerging technologies are changing business models, customer experiences, workforces, and enterprise strategy.
"Leaders don't need another conference filled with predictions about what might happen next," said R "Ray" Wang, Founder and CEO of Constellation Research. "They need a place where they can have honest conversations about what is happening right now, what's working, what's failing, and what they should be doing differently. Connected Enterprise is built for those conversations. It's where executives can challenge conventional thinking, learn from their peers, and leave with ideas they can actually put into action."
This year's Connected Enterprise will explore the forces reshaping the enterprise, with conversations spanning AI and emerging technology, business transformation, the future of work, customer experience, innovation, leadership, and the evolving relationship between technology and business strategy.
The program is intentionally designed around interaction rather than passive listening. Throughout the event, executives will participate in Constellation's Brain Trust sessions, interactive Cosmic Conversations, Executive Exchanges, one-on-one Market Maker Fireside Chats, industry insights, and open Q&A sessions with Constellation analysts and fellow leaders.
Highlights of Connected Enterprise 2026 include:
The 16th Annual SuperNova Awards: Connected Enterprise will culminate with Constellation's annual SuperNova Awards, recognizing leaders and organizations driving meaningful innovation and transformation. BT150 Induction Ceremony: The 2026–2027 BT150 class will be formally inducted at Connected Enterprise, bringing together some of the world's leading business transformation executives. Executive-level peer exchange: More than 250 executives will gather for candid discussions and cross-industry perspectives, with the majority representing VP, CXO, and board-level leadership. Direct access to Constellation analysts and Market Maker conversations led by R "Ray" Wang.
"Connected Enterprise has always been about the community as much as the content," Wang added. "The most valuable insights often come from the executive sitting next to you, the analyst who challenges your assumptions, or the peer who has already solved the problem you're facing. CCE creates the environment for those connections to happen."
The event will also feature a mix of structured programming and informal experiences, including the Hackers & Duffers golf tournament, networking receptions, the BT150 induction ceremony, and the SuperNova Awards Gala.
