Putting Customer Expectations Back Into Customer Experience
Presented by David Lover,
Vice President, Strategy & Technology
Tuesday, October 17th at 10 a.m.

Traditionally, the contact center provides an infrastructure-focused, inside-out look at how a company intends to interact with their customers. The connected customer experience flips that around, looking outside-in with a focus on building meaningful connections through innovative and secure experiences that keep customer expectations in mind. Learn how to overcome misalignment between the business and IT to undergo a transformation project that unleashes the power of connected customer experiences.

Innovation & Data: Unleash the Power of Generative AI & Data Analytics
Presented by Mark Langanki,
Chief Technology Officer
Wednesday, October 18th at 3:15 p.m.

See beyond the ordinary of Chat GPT / Generative AI. As a solution provider, we’ve cracked the code on the helpfulness of innovation, while at the same time governing it to meet the needs of the business. The amount of data is almost incomprehensible, BUT data is the new gold, and the analytics driving it can determine your success in streamlining operations and satisfying your customers and employees. We will be citing use cases where C1 has guided clients through deployments, scale, and provide financial returns.
