Education doesn’t end with obtaining a diploma. We’ve become life-long learners. No matter the role, education, or industry, we need to up- or reskill constantly to keep current. The way we learn is changing dramatically. Technological advancements enable learning in a virtual environment with much better results than ever before. How is that possible? Glad you asked! The Metaverse offers new ways of consuming information, training by doing, and actively participating in the educational process. The results are much higher engagement, retention, and satisfaction.

Keynote Presentation by Genesys: Goodbye, NPS. Hello, People-centric, End-to-End Experience Benchmarking!
K-01
Peter Graf Chief Strategy and Operations Officer Genesys
For decades, organizations have fixated on achieving high Net Promoter Scores (NPS) but had little detail into the “why” behind the score—either good or bad. In today’s experience economy, understanding what makes or breaks customer and employee loyalty is vital to business success. And organizations are taking note: more than 80% of CX leaders believe the ability to measure satisfaction across the entire journey is critical to their business strategy. Providing insights only into the end of the journey, NPS no longer meets the needs it once sought to serve.

Join Dr. Peter Graf, Chief Strategy and Operations Officer at Genesys as he discusses:

  1. Why NPS and similar measurement methods are broken, including the unnecessary blind spots these tools create
  2. Real world scenarios of how a more robust, people-centric methodology, based on what customers and employees value most, is driving better experiences 
  3. How an empathetic approach to experiences will help limit employee turnover, increase customer loyalty, and ultimately become a business differentiator

Keynote Presentation by Cisco: AI is at the Heart of Reimagining Work
K-02
Aruna Ravichandran SVP & Chief Marketing & Customer Officer Webex by Cisco
As return-to-office mandates continue, many organizations struggle with making the in-office experience worthwhile for their teams. People no longer need the office for individual work but instead want to use office time for collaboration, brainstorming, and connection with colleagues. Unfortunately, most offices cannot support these needs because they are designed for how we used to work.

In this keynote, you will step into the future of work, where AI is the heartbeat of innovation, connection, productivity, and collaboration. With AI at the core of workspace design and technology features, we can transform the office experience to support the needs of hybrid workers everywhere.

Aruna Ravichandran, SVP and Chief Marketing & Customer Officer for Webex by Cisco, will highlight how Cisco is using AI to set new standards in hybrid work and workspaces—showing not what could be but providing a roadmap to what will be.

Don’t miss this inspiring and insightful keynote. The future awaits!
