Job Shifting: Where and How AI is Eliminating & Adding CX Positions
For years, a key concern about AI is that it would take jobs from people. Though we have not yet seen evidence of layoffs because of AI, we have measured hard data on how it will impact hiring moving forward. During this session, you’ll learn:
- How is AI affecting hiring practices in the contact center?
- What types of AI have the most profound impact on staffing?
- Is generative AI causing layoffs?
- What new jobs will emerge because of AI, and why?
- What can you do to ensure your enterprise is well-positioned as AI adoption grows?

Harness the Power of Data for Your CX
As AI revolutionizes customer service operations, the path to success lies in harnessing the power of data, and over the past year, the industry has recognized that the future of Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) hinges on becoming data-centric. Contact centers are already sitting on a gold mine of recordings, transcripts, and interaction records. Now technology providers need to transform these troves into data platforms. Enterprises are also on a quest to consolidate customer data into data warehouses and data lakes, and contact center data must fit into this broader enterprise data landscape.
Our expert panel of industry leaders will help you understand what CX data platforms entail. You will gain insights into development strategies, integration with enterprise data frameworks, and what questions to pose to your providers. This session will equip technology and business executives with a checklist of essential questions and considerations to future-proof their reference architecture and make informed technology investments. Join us for an engaging session led by a leading CX industry analyst.
Takeaways:
- Where do the most important customer data stores currently reside, and what does it take to connect them?
- How should the need to be data-centric drive your larger CX architecture, strategy, and investments?
- What is the impact of data integration on the effectiveness of AI features and functions deployed with the goal of improving CX?
09:00 am – 09:45 am

Join this group of contact center technologists and gain the insights you need for your own projects.
Takeaways:
- The main stakeholders in a major contact center project, and what are the challenges in partnering with these organizations?

Keynote Panel: Is Gen AI Already Delivering Business Value to Enterprise CX?
Contact center and customer experience solution providers have spent the past 20 months feverishly expanding existing AI applications and building new ones, in response to the massive interest touched off by ChatGPT’s November 2022 debut. As early as summer 2023, market leaders were bringing generative AI-enhanced conversation summarization, intelligent virtual assistant, and agent assistance solutions to market.
In this session, the industry’s leading contact center analyst, joined by top thought leaders in the space, will discuss whether the generative AI CX solutions deployed to date have begun driving positive business outcomes, and what it will take for generative AI to truly change the CX game. You will come away with a fuller view of the strategic issues facing your contact center as it plans AI deployments in the coming 12 months and beyond.
Takeaways:
- Is automation of customer interactions the primary goal of companies pursuing AI deployments, or are applications that support agents equally important?
- Can companies that still operate on-premises contact center solutions take advantage of generative AI advancements? Is CCaaS a prerequisite for incorporation of AI into CX?
- What kind of innovation should today’s CCaaS customers be looking for from their existing vendors? How should they evaluate whether it is time to move to a solution more aggressively building on generative AI?

Contact Centers/CX 2027: What Will Drive the Market?
AI will continue to grow in importance to contact centers/CX over the next three years, as will migrations to CCaaS. But it’s the underlying trends in customer care that will determine exactly how you should plan and pace your strategic investments over the medium term. In this session, a leading industry analyst will present research that will help you understand where the trends are headed – and how technology decisions will be affected – when it comes to agent workforces, operational efficiencies, revenue demands, and customer experiences. You’ll learn how technologies like AI, CCaaS, and WEM can be effective in achieving business objectives in CX – and where they’ll come up short. You’ll leave with a clearer idea of how to plan your strategic contact center roadmap.
Takeaways:
- What business needs will be driving AI adoption in 3 years, and how well will the state of the art in AI be able to meet these needs?
- What factors will drive CCaaS adoption, and how extensive will the migration be by 2027?
- What changes will the agent workforce undergo in the next 3 years, and what technologies and strategies will be needed to respond to the evolution?
- Will enterprises see a business driver for integrating their UCaaS and CCaaS systems, and will this lead to adoption of single-vendor platforms for both capabilities?
