Events: Future of Customer Contact Conference
Future of the Contact Centre Conference
The Technological Evolution of Customer Contact in a Rapidly Changing Consumer Environment
Contact centres in the traditional sense are changing and in 2020 it was said that some contact centres made more changes in 10-weeks than they had in 20 years.
The role of the agent is also changing as AI and automation infuse the contact centre with bots with empathy, speech analytics and non-human agents that speak in a tone so advanced, that customers will not even be aware they are dealing with robotics. In today’s increasingly digital world though, human interaction is a necessity rather than a luxury and superagents with specialist skills or a deep interest in a brand’s products or services are emerging – the future of call centre will be a mix of AI and human interaction.
Our CPD accredited virtual Future of the Contact Centre conference brought into sharp focus the profound changes in the world of customer contact and highlighted the evolving mix of technologies, processes and people in an uncertain business environment.
The eighth Future of the Contact Centre conference in 2023 will deliver to our delegates, through a mix of case studies, panel discussions and in-depth interviews with industry leaders, a raft of world-class content – where they will come away with the tools and techniques to deliver successful contact centre strategies for the future, where the human experience of engaging with such ground-breaking robotics and AI driven technology is as strong, if not stronger, than dealing with an actual human.

Yext
Yext’s mission is to transform the enterprise with AI search.
With the explosion of information and data online, search has never been more important. However, while the world of consumer search has innovated over time, enterprise search has not.

Yext, the Answers Company, offers a modern, AI-powered Answers Platform that understands natural language so that when people ask questions about a business online they get direct answers – not links.
