Looking for a place to connect with peers, swap ideas, and tackle the challenges shaping IT service and customer experience? Our monthly Idea Exchanges are interactive, community-driven conversations where you can share, learn, and walk away with practical insights.

 

Each month, we tackle a timely topic, incorporate peer-to-peer learning, and create space for genuine discussion (no sales pitches here). Best of all? These sessions are completely free and open to everyone.

 

November: Real Talk on AI: What’s Working, What’s Hype, and What’s Next in Support

 

AI is everywhere, but not everything labeled “AI” is delivering real results. In this session, we’ll cut through the buzz and get honest about what’s actually working in contact centers and IT support, what’s falling short, and what’s coming next. Join your peers to share lessons learned, explore use cases that deliver real ROI, and discuss how to prepare your teams for AI-powered change without losing the human touch.
