The Rise of Multimodal Customer Experience: Are We Moving Too Fast?
Omnichannel was promised as the solution to a fragmented customer journey. While it delivered in many ways a new paradigm is taking shape, one defined by multimodal experiences powered by AI, automation, and real-time context.
Customers can now move fluidly between voice, chat, video, and digital channels, often without a visible transition. For some, this represents the ideal journey. For others, it can feel as though the human element of customer care is slipping away.
As organizations race to innovate, many are unintentionally creating gaps, not just between channels, but between themselves and key segments of their customer base. With varying levels of digital fluency and generational differences, and varying expectations, a one-size-fits-all approach to CX no longer scales.
So, the question becomes: In our pursuit of the future, are we leaving parts of our customer base behind?
In this candid and forward-looking discussion, CX leaders will explore:
What moving beyond omnichannel really looks like in a live environment
How to make shifts in channel strategy without alienating customers
Identifying where AI and automation enhance the journey and where they risk creating friction
How generational and behavioral differences are reshaping modern channel strategy
Signs that your organization may be prioritizing technology at the expense of connection
How to design experiences that balance innovation with inclusivity and trust
CX Livewire: Consumer Voices, Real-Time Reactions
Customer expectations are constantly evolving, and understanding how consumers perceive service, support channels, and emerging technologies is critical for shaping effective CX strategies. In this fast-paced and interactive session, panelists will explore key insights from Execs In The Know’s latest research findings, capturing the perspectives and expectations of CX leaders and consumers.
Throughout the discussion, panelists will react to both the research findings and live polling of the CRS audience, creating a dynamic comparison between what consumers say they want and how organizations are currently approaching service delivery. These real-time insights will allow attendees to benchmark their own thinking against the room, while panelists share practical perspectives from inside their organizations on how they interpret, and respond to, shifting consumer expectations.
Expect candid reactions, engaging audience participation, and thought-provoking contrasts between consumer sentiment and operational reality. This high-energy session is designed to spark conversation, challenge assumptions, and highlight where CX leaders may need to adapt in order to meet the evolving demands of their customers.
Agent-Facing AI for CX: Through the Eyes of the Agent
For decades, contact center agents have been expected to act as human search engines navigating complex knowledge bases, policy documents, and fragmented systems to find the right answer for customers. But the emergence of agent-facing AI is beginning to shift that paradigm. Instead of simply retrieving information, modern AI tools can now interpret context, surface relevant guidance, and recommend next-best actions in real time.
This panel will explore how CX leaders are deploying AI to transform the agent role, and what this experience is like from the agent’s perspective. Panelists will discuss how tools such as AI copilots, real-time knowledge synthesis, contextual assistance, automated summarization, and predictive assistance are helping agents navigate complex conversations more effectively while reducing cognitive load. At the same time, organizations must carefully balance automation with human judgment, ensuring agents remain empowered decision-makers.
Panelists will also address the operational and cultural challenges of introducing AI into the agent workflow including trust, training, governance, and change management. Attendees will hear practical insights (and hopefully firsthand feedback from agents) on what’s working, what’s not, and how agent-facing AI can simultaneously improve efficiency, enhance employee experience, and deliver better outcomes for customers.
The Next Gen CX Business Plan: Preparing for the Next 3–5 Years
For years, organizations have piloted AI-powered support, automation, proactive service models, and intelligent self-service. Now, the industry is reaching an inflection point: what happens when these capabilities mature into the standard operating model?
The question for leaders is no longer if these technologies work, but how to architect a business plan that thrives once they are fully integrated. Moving from pilot to scale requires a fundamental shift in how we lead. It demands a roadmap for workforce evolution, a commitment to data integrity, and a new definition of “success” that balances efficiency with the human connection customer still crave.
What does workforce strategy look like when AI handles a significant portion of interactions? How do roles evolve? What investments must be made now in data quality, governance, and systems integration to support intelligent, proactive service? How is success measured? How do organizations deliver the trust, clarity, and the confidence that define Customer Assurance?
In this discussion, CX leaders will explore:
How organizations might evolve their business plans as AI, automation, and proactive service shift from experimentation to core operations
Redefining roles and team structures as AI handles a larger share of the interaction volume
Aligning funding priorities and performance measures to reflect the reality of a proactive, next-generation environment
Ensuring clarity, confidence, and human connection remain the foundation of the customer experience as technology becomes more embedded
Customer Assurance: A Leadership Decision, Not a Department
Customer Assurance isn’t a department or a checklist; it’s the feeling a customer has when they know, without a doubt, that you’ve got their back. It is the result of leadership decisions that shape how an entire organization operates. Customer Assurance is the confidence customers feel when they know a company will show up with clarity, competence, and care. It is the belief that when something matters, someone will be there to make it right.
In an era defined by automation, AI, and “no reply” emails, customers are tired of just being “processed.” They aren’t just asking for speed or convenience anymore; they are asking deeper questions: Do I feel safe doing business with you?
Do I believe you will take care of me? Do I trust the experience you are creating for me? True assurance is the emotional bridge that turns a one-off transaction into a lifelong relationship. Delivering that level of confidence requires more than good service design. It requires leaders to build organizations where trust is intentionally designed into systems, transparency is expected in communication, and employees are empowered to solve problems and do what is right for the customer.
In this discussion, CX leaders will explore:
How organizations build systems, processes, and policies that reinforce customer confidence rather than undermine it.
Why honesty, clarity, and accountability are becoming critical differentiators in customer relationships.
How AI, automation, and digital tools can either strengthen trust or erode it depending on how they are deployed.
Customer Experience Is Becoming Intelligent: What Leaders Need to Know Now
Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming the intelligence layer within modern customer experience operations. The most impactful organizations are amplifying human capability through cooperative intelligence—embedding AI across the full CX lifecycle to improve efficiency, reduce risk, and unlock entirely new levels of service.
In this session, Mark Vange, CTO and Founder of Autom8ly, will share how AI is transforming CX through capabilities including autonomous agents, real-time agent assist, intelligent transcription, automated QA and compliance monitoring, and proactive operational alerting. These systems continuously observe, learn, and adapt from customer interactions—helping organizations improve agent performance, detect fraud and operational waste earlier, and ensure consistent service quality at scale.
Critically, these capabilities are now operating successfully in highly regulated environments such as healthcare and financial services, where compliance, auditability, data protection, and operational reliability are non-negotiable. Mark will explore how ROI CX is leveraging this intelligence to enhance service delivery in these demanding environments—empowering agents with real-time insight while strengthening compliance, resilience, and operational control.
You’ll learn:
How AI is becoming the intelligence layer within modern CX architecture
How cooperative AI enhances agent performance while strengthening compliance and operational control
How organizations like ROI CX are leveraging AI to deliver higher-quality service in regulated environments
A practical framework for introducing AI safely, incrementally, and responsibly

Beyond Automation: Social CX in the Age of AI
As customer service continues its shift toward social and asynchronous channels, AI is fundamentally changing how brands engage, respond, and scale. Traditional voice and chat are no longer the primary focus; instead, AI is quietly streamlining these channels while social media becomes the front line for service, community building, and brand growth. With rising expectations for responsiveness across earned and owned channels, CX leaders are navigating increased social volume alongside limited, high-risk AI options that can easily feel inauthentic to highly digital consumers.
In this session, Chris Wallace, SVP Global Growth at IntouchCX, along with Laura Wheeler, Director of Social Media Customer Care at Audible, examine what this shift means once efficiency is no longer the differentiator. The conversation reframes AI beyond productivity, focusing on the evolving value of CX, demographic nuance by brand, and why human connection remains critical, while also including an interactive breakout session where attendees discuss real-world social CX scenarios and how to apply AI without sacrificing authenticity.
Key Takeaways
How to approach social and asynchronous channels as a primary CX playground, while ensuring AI optimizes legacy channels in the background.
Creating CX value defined by trust, authenticity, and community impact.
The opportunities, risks, and thoughtful deployment of AI in social
The necessity for human support for specific customers, moments, and brand experiences, even in highly automated environments.

Stop Guessing: Take Control of the CX Buying Process
The CX technology landscape is expanding at a dizzying pace. With the rapid influx of Voice AI, CCaaS, and agentic tools, distinguishing between “market noise” and “strategic necessity” has never been harder. The biggest hurdle for enterprise leaders isn’t just implementing technology, it’s buying it.
Join Simplify and Lindsey Ellison, SVP of Business Technology at Globe Life, for an interactive workshop exploring the complexities of procuring technology for their 13,000+ agent organization. Lindsey will share Globe Life’s journey, identifying strategic market shifts and defining the “why” behind their transformation toward modern CCaas and Agentic AI.
Participants will:
Tackle the question: ”What is the hardest part about buying new technology?”
Dissect the friction points of RFPs, commercial analysis, and vendor selection
Discuss how a “Trusted Advisor” model can de-risk the process and accelerate time-to-value.

Your Customer Already Told Us: Building Memory into the Agent Ecosystem
Every call transfer is a failure point. Every “can you repeat that?” burns time and trust. Most contact centers respond by adding more AI, which makes the problem worse.
Without orchestration, you get conflicting responses, lost context, and agents cleaning up messes they didn’t create.
Roger Lee shows what happens when you stop stacking AI tools and start coordinating them. Drawing on examples from organizations that cut contacts by 50% while improving quality, he explains how to design clear boundaries for when AI should act, collaborate, or escalate.
Over the next few years, conversation will become the primary interface for getting work done. AI prepares and coordinates tasks before humans step in to handle judgment calls and complex decisions.
You’ll learn:
Why uncoordinated AI creates more problems than it solves
How to define clear boundaries for autonomous action, collaboration, and escalation
Why orchestration functions as the operating system for your CX ecosystem

Leading Execution in the Age of AI and Agentic Systems
When AI starts acting on behalf of your team, who is accountable?
Customer experience is entering a new phase. AI is no longer limited to chatbots, and copilots’ organizations are now experimenting with agentic AI systems that can take action, make decisions, and orchestrate tasks across workflows. While this shift expands what’s possible, it also raises a critical leadership challenge: how do you move toward greater automation and intelligence without compromising accuracy, trust, and the human quality of care?
In this Leader’s Choice session, Sarah brings a perspective shaped by her work at Procedureflow to guide a conversation on a key industry shift from AI assistance to AI action and why this makes operational clarity more important than ever.
Participants will explore the realities leaders are facing today:
• Chatbots handling first contact but lacking process awareness
• Copilots suggesting answers without clear decision paths
• Agentic AI systems initiating actions that must align with real operational rules
• Knowledge spread across systems, increasing risk of inconsistency
The discussion will focus on how leading organizations are building a foundation where AI, copilots, and agentic systems operate within structured knowledge, governance, and guided workflows. This ensures frontline teams remain confident; customers receive consistent care, and automation enhances rather than undermines trust.
Before the session begins, attendees will note their top questions and challenges with AI-driven execution, which will shape the discussion. These real-world inputs will drive a hands-on group exercise where participants identify care gaps, craft opportunity statements, and map the foundations needed for safe, consistent AI-powered execution.
Attendees will leave with a leadership perspective on designing CX environments where intelligence, autonomy, and human judgment work together delivering faster, more personalized service without compromise.

How Urban Outfitters Cracked the Code on AI Agents
Launching AI at enterprise scale is never simple, especially across beloved global brands with distinct voices, loyal customers, and complex operational structures. But that’s exactly the challenge Joannah Holmes, Director of Customer Service at URBN, set out to solve.
In this mainstage case study, Joannah takes attendees behind the scenes of an ambitious AI agent rollout in modern retail CX. Over a two-week sprint, URBN deployed agentic AI across four marquee brands: Anthropologie, Free People, Urban Outfitters, and Terrain.
This session will explore the real story behind the launch: the strategy, the cross-functional alignment, the unexpected hurdles, and the breakthrough moments that made it possible. Joannah will share how her team ensured the AI agents not only mirrored each brand’s identity but also unlocked measurable operational gains to improve speed, accuracy, agent workload, and customer satisfaction.
Most importantly, she’ll discuss what she’s learned about responsibly scaling agentic AI inside a global retail ecosystem, and what’s coming next for URBN.
Attendees will walk away with a rare, inside look at enterprise AI transformation in motion, including what it really takes, what’s required to build trust, and how to set a foundation for sustainable, scalable impact.

How Tory Burch and Vuori Implemented Phone AI in 2025
Tory Burch herself singled out the CX team at their end-of-year companywide all-hands for the brand’s most successful AI work of 2025. Vuori started their implementation weeks before Black Friday, had time to spare, and flipped skeptical leaders just one quarter post-launch.

Automation Without Alienation: A People-First Workforce Strategy in the Age of AI
This session shares a real-world transformation story of how a large enterprise contact center moved from early skepticism about automation (“it will replace jobs”) to a people-first strategy that improved both operational performance and employee experience.

The discussion will highlight key lessons, measurable outcomes, and how today’s momentum in AI connects to the future of workforce orchestration—illustrating how automation and AI can work together to support scalable, resilient workforce strategies beyond the contact center.
Key takeaways for attendees
How to position automation as a workforce strategy that enhances performance and employee experience—not a job replacement narrative
What it really takes to drive adoption when executive alignment alone doesn’t translate to frontline buy-in
How real-time automation and emerging AI initiatives can coexist to strengthen CX strategy and long-term workforce agility

Making CX a C-Suite Priority
CX friction is easy to spot on the front lines and far harder to elevate into an executive priority. Too often, CX leaders come armed with anecdotes or dashboards that resonate locally but fail to translate into enterprise-level urgency. This session explores how leading organizations bridge that gap by pairing a clear narrative with hard data tied to business performance, risk, and customer outcomes, and turning CX pain into an executive ready business case.
Through real customer examples, Reddy will examine how a small, focused CX pilot delivered measurable wins that earned CEO attention and sponsorship. Attendees will leave with a practical playbook for translating frontline insight into boardroom language and how to build the internal momentum needed to scale CX initiatives across the enterprise.

Next Level Learning & Development: The Operational Advantage of Learning Done Right
Effortless customer experiences begin with effortless learning—learning that happens inside operations, not alongside them. Next-level Learning and Development blends seamlessly into day-to-day execution, transforming operations into an operational learning environment where learning is strategic, immediate, and continuous. Grounded in cognitive science and adult learning research, these approaches require no new tools or budget, yet deliver immediate, measurable improvements in performance and customer ease.
This session challenges the outdated, siloed model where Learning and Development is solely responsible for performance. Instead, it positions performance as a shared operational continuum—owned by leaders, reinforced in the moment, and sustained through science-backed practices. In an era where organizations are racing toward AI without understanding how people actually learn, this conversation returns to the foundations of research, demonstrating how trusted, evidence-based strategies can be applied immediately to maximize performance in dynamic environments.
Attendees will learn:
Immediate, research-backed strategies that drive measurable performance at no cost
Practical approaches to embed learning into operations for real-time execution impact
How to anchor operational learning decisions in cognitive science to consistently maximize performance

Frontline Empowerment: The Heart of CX Transformation
Transformation is happening all around us — in technology, AI, and business models — but the real story of customer experience isn’t about systems; it’s about people. In this keynote, Kevin McDorman, Vice President of Customer Care at Southwest Airlines, will share how the frontline isn’t just executing service — it is the strategy for creating seamless, friction-free experiences. Through real stories from Southwest, Kevin will show how empowering frontline teams to act with judgment, empathy, and autonomy drives measurable improvements across every metric.
Attendees will see how putting people first — not scripts, dashboards, or automation alone — creates solutions in the moments that matter most, transforms policies into guardrails, and positions technology as a partner, not a replacement.
This session challenges leaders to rethink CX strategy: how to anticipate customer needs, remove friction, and give teams the authority to deliver results. Attendees will leave inspired to view the frontline not just as execution, but as the engine of enterprise-wide customer experience.

Exporting Culture: How to Extend Your Brand’s Soul Into an Outsourced CX Model
Every brand has a culture—few know how to export it. As more companies blend internal CX teams with outsourced BPO partners, the central challenge becomes ensuring that customers experience the same authenticity, empathy, and values no matter who answers the call.
In this interactive workshop, GTCX CEO Bill Colton and Azure Standard’s CX leader Karen Slusher unpack how a brand’s “internal DNA” can be successfully extended beyond its four walls. Azure Standard, with its uniquely passionate customer following and deeply relationship-driven approach, has cultivated a CX model where agents are empowered to spend real time with customers, prioritize connection over speed, and build long-term trust. Translating that ethos to an external partner might seem impossible—yet Azure and GTCX have built a blueprint for doing exactly that.
Attendees will learn:
How to identify the essential cultural ingredients that truly define a brand
Why most companies miscommunicate expectations to BPO partners—and how to avoid those traps
How to operationalize culture (not just describe it) so an external partner can replicate it
What a real-world success story looks like from both the brand and partner perspective
This session blends strategic insight with practical guidance from two leaders who have done it in the real world—not in theory.

The Standard Is the Strategy
CX excellence isn’t created by software, scripts, or perfectly defined processes. It’s created by leaders, and the standard they’re willing to set for themselves. In this keynote, Travis Brown, former NFL quarterback and current pastor, delivers a direct challenge to CX executives: your team’s performance will never exceed the standard you personally embody.
Travis explores the uncomfortable but liberating truth that success can often mask slipping standards, and teams will always follow the tone the leader sets, especially when conditions aren’t ideal, pressure is high, or you’re leading teams you didn’t personally handpick.
This session will reshape how you think about standards, how they’re created, reinforced, and multiplied across the enterprise, and why EX will always dictate CX. Through powerful stories and practical leadership insight, Travis helps leaders see that the most scalable strategy for CX excellence is not a system… it’s a standard. And it starts with you.
About Travis:
Travis Brown is a former NFL quarterback who played for 6 seasons (Seahawks, Bills, Colts). He now channels his passion for leadership, teamwork, and culture into developing others. He oversees campuses at Christ’s Church of the Valley (CCV)—one of the largest churches in the country with 19 campuses and over 55,000 in attendance every weekend—helping shape environments where teams thrive and people grow. He is also the founder of 180 Sports, a nonprofit dedicated to using sports to impact culture by training coaches, supporting athletes, and providing equipment.
Through his experiences on and off the field, Travis has gained a deep understanding of what it takes to build strong teams, cultivate winning cultures, and help individuals reach their full potential.
Beyond his professional work, Travis has been married to his wife, Corinna, for nearly 25 years, and together they have five children. His greatest passion is investing in people—whether on the field, in the workplace, or at home—helping them maximize their potential and lead with clarity, resilience, and purpose.

Delivering Care Without Compromise: The Human-Tech Partnership at Visa
From her first job behind a supermarket checkout to leading Visa’s Global Client Care organization, Katie Beaudry has always understood that customer experience begins with empathy. What once required face-to-face presence has evolved into a world where data, AI, and predictive design enable care at scale — yet the heart of CX remains human. In this keynote, Katie will share how Visa is reimagining every stage of the service journey, building “self-healing” experiences and agentic AI systems that empower both customers and care teams to deliver seamless, personalized solutions in real time.
But transformation isn’t about technology alone; it’s about foresight, culture, and connection. Katie explores how her teams are blending human intuition with intelligent automation to deliver care without compromise. She’ll challenge leaders to rethink what preemptive service looks like in practice, how to equip teams for success in an AI-powered ecosystem, and how to keep the human touch alive at a global scale. Attendees will walk away inspired to raise the bar, not just by solving customer problems, but by anticipating them.

CX as a Growth Engine: Proving Value in the Boardroom
Customer experience leaders know that delivering exceptional service drives loyalty, retention, and long-term business value. Yet, securing investment for new tools, talent, and innovations often requires more than intuition or anecdotal wins. Many CX leaders still face challenges in articulating a compelling financial case for investment, translating the less tangible benefits of customer care into metrics that resonate with CFOs, CEOs, and boards. Without a strong internal case, initiatives risk being deprioritized in favor of more easily quantified projects.
This panel will dive into proven strategies for building persuasive ROI models that tie customer care excellence directly to revenue growth, reduced churn, and operational efficiency. Panelists will share best practices for quantifying knock-on effects like customer lifetime value, brand advocacy, and competitive differentiation, while also offering guidance on how to educate senior leadership on the true business impact of CX. Attendees will leave with practical tools and storytelling techniques to strengthen their internal advocacy and secure the resources needed to elevate customer experience initiatives.

Beyond Deployment: The Quality Assurance and Measurement Essentials for AI-Powered CX
As AI reaches new levels of deployment within the contact center, the focus is all too often on speed to market rather than sustained quality and performance. Without rigorous monitoring, these solutions can drift from intended outcomes, generate inconsistent or inaccurate responses, and even erode customer trust. The difference between AI-powered solutions that delight versus ones that frustrate often comes down to how well performance is measured, tuned, re-tuned, and governed over time.
This panel will explore why monitoring AI quality must be as much a priority as implementing AI itself. CX leaders will share emerging best practices for establishing performance benchmarks, aligning AI outputs with business and customer goals, and setting up governance models that evolve alongside the technology. Attendees will gain practical insights on how to track both quantitative and qualitative results, run an effective QA layer, detect bias or drift, and create feedback loops that ensure AI remains a reliable extension of the customer experience strategy.
During this panel you’ll learn about:
Which metrics are worth monitoring for generating actionable insights
Best practices for implementing a QA layer for AI-powered solutions
Common AI-powered solution performance issues that are detectable by better monitoring

Beyond Recovery: Shaping a CX Model That Anticipates, Prevents, and Delights
Most service organizations remain focused on reacting to issues after they arise, yet the real opportunity lies in anticipating and preventing problems before customers ever need to reach out. This panel will explore how CX leaders are rethinking their approaches to become more predictive and proactive, leveraging a mix of customer data, journey signals, and emerging AI capabilities to spot friction points early and deliver pre-emptive support.
Panelists will discuss both the opportunities and the challenges in shifting from recovery to prevention — from making the internal case for investment in predictive solutions, to building the right organizational support, to ensuring governance and trust remain at the center. Expect practical insights into how companies are both executing and thinking about proactive outreach and empowering agents with “next-best actions,” all while learning from both successes and setbacks. Attendees will leave with a clearer view of how proactive strategies can reduce preventable contacts, elevate satisfaction, and lower costs while strengthening long-term customer relationships.

Uncompromised Leadership — When Self-Respect Becomes Priceless
When the stakes are high and the pressure is on, real leadership is revealed not by strategy decks or polished statements, but by the courage to act with integrity, even when it costs something. In this intimate discussion, two EITK advisory board members and seasoned senior CX executives share candid stories of when their values were tested under fire. When the easiest choice isn’t the right one, and when standing firm carries personal or professional consequences, this is when true leaders stand firm.
We’ll explore how leaders evolve from good intentions to becoming “the one” others can count on: the person who speaks up, takes risks, and acts on their convictions when everyone else stays quiet. The conversation will examine how self-respect becomes the source of leadership courage, fueling trust inside organizations and loyalty among customers.
In this session, you’ll learn:
The anatomy of being “the one”: what separates leaders who act from those who don’t.
How to build the kind of self-respect that makes difficult choices possible.
The difference between performative leadership and leadership that costs you something.
Ways courageous decisions create psychological safety for teams and trust with customers.
How to recognize when you’ve become the leader you intended to be.
Expect real stories of integrity under pressure—from culture flashpoints to customer-impacting crises—and leave with practical insights on how courage, vulnerability, and personal accountability can transform organizations. Attendees will walk away inspired to embrace self-respect as a leadership operating system that not only protects employees and customers but also creates the foundation for authentic, lasting trust.

Transforming Your Contact Center into a Modern Resolution Engine
For too long, themes in CX have been focused on deflection, asking, “How many customers can we avoid?”
The more meaningful question is: “How can we resolve their issues?” Customers don’t care how many steps you eliminated in your workflow or how much faster your team completed their post-call dispositions. They care about one thing: Was my problem solved quickly and effectively?
As CCaaS continues to evolve, contact-center leaders must meet ever-higher demands for efficiency, personalization, and seamless omnichannel service. Teams can no longer tolerate half-baked channels, siloed agents, or reporting nightmares. Today, they’re embracing AI-powered, unified workspaces that weave rich contextual data with intelligent, empathy-driven tools so every interaction becomes fast, personal, and on-brand at scale.
In this session led by Zendesk, you’ll explore real-world examples of contact centers around the world that have:
Handled high call volumes without sacrificing satisfaction
Adapted rapidly to changing demands
Navigated complexity while consistently delivering fast, personalized resolutions
You’ll walk away with actionable strategies to transform your contact center into a modern resolution engine by:
Applying AI and automation to streamline workflows and handle inquiries at scale
Deploying conversational AI and predictive analytics to anticipate and exceed customer needs
Leveraging unified reporting and data insights for ongoing improvement and smarter operations

The Talent Shift: Hiring, Training, and Compensation in an AI World
Customer expectations aren’t the only thing evolving, so are the people behind every interaction. As AI and automation continue to reshape the contact center, they’re not just enhancing tools and workflows; they’re fundamentally transforming the agent role itself.
In this new era, agents are expected to do more than follow a script. They’re problem solvers, brand ambassadors, and emotional first responders—navigating increasingly complex issues that require both high-tech fluency and high-EQ finesse. These changes are pushing organizations to rethink everything: how we recruit and train, how we compensate and support, what skills matter most in the modern CX workforce, and how entirely new roles may emerge.
This panel brings together CX leaders to unpack how AI is reshaping the future of work: redefining the skills we hire for, influencing compensation models, and transforming how training, reskilling, and upskilling are delivered and absorbed. As the role of the agent evolves—shifting from repetitive tasks to higher-value, empathy-driven work—companies must balance automation with human augmentation and adopt strategies for building and supporting a workforce prepared to meet the demands of a more complex, tech-integrated customer experience.
The future is faster, smarter, and more connected but success depends on leading with intention, investing in emotional intelligence, and designing roles that elevate both technology and humanity.

Board Panel: The Signals We’re Missing
In a world flooded with dashboards and metrics, the loudest signals often steal the spotlight—while the most powerful insights go unheard. This panel explores what it means to truly listen to the silent majority of customers: those whose feedback isn’t captured in traditional surveys, whose experiences are filtered through cultural bias, or whose voices are lost in outdated listening systems.
Join the EITK Advisory Board as they challenge the current state of customer listening by asking hard questions:
How do we build trust so that more customers are willing to speak up?
Where are surveys falling short—and what’s replacing them?
What cultural blind spots are baked into the way we collect and interpret feedback?
We’ll also explore how AI-powered sentiment detection can help uncover unspoken truths and emerging emotions—if applied with intention and ethics. From tuning into passive signals to reshaping how and where we listen, this conversation will open new possibilities for creating a listening culture that is inclusive, intelligent, and alive.
If we want to meet customers where they are, we must hear even what they don’t say. The future of customer experience depends not just on collecting more data—but on listening differently.

Decoding Customer Interaction: The Power of Understanding Human Communication
Sentiment… Language… Speech… QA… We all reference these terms, but do we know how to place tangible value on the human voice expressing such communication?
With the numerous human-based metrics used to manage corporate performance, most contact center operations have focused their investment decisions on advancements that remove the human component.
Yet, measures involving VoC, Promoters, and QA remain prevalent throughout all organizations.

For many, attaching an ROI to these metrics appears daunting, moving them to a ‘necessary evil’ expense line. In the age of AI, we find ourselves pushing for investment success associated with corporate efficiency and reduced headcount, but how about the same rigor toward retaining humanity in our enterprises? Societal research continues to show that people resonate with and need personal connection. The relationship between our customers and brands should capitalize on that need while continuing to foster satisfaction with product offerings.
