Conversational AI Meetup: What's next for agentic AI in customer experience?
Agentic AI has quickly become a hot topic of 2026. But where does it belong in customer experience? Join us for an evening of discussion on how leading organisations are putting agentic AI to work in customer experience.
In McKinsey's State of AI in 2025 report, 23% of respondents said their organisations are scaling an agentic AI system, with 39% reporting they have begun experimenting with AI agents.
If you are exploring what's possible or already running AI agents in production, this event will equip you with practical insights on what's working, what's changing and where things are heading.
Who it's for:
Customer service and contact centre professionals.
Product and engineering teams building or evaluating AI agents.
Operations leaders looking at where agentic AI fits into their strategy.
Applied AI practitioners designing and building agentic AI solutions.
Anyone curious about what agentic AI means for customer experience in practice.
