What if Omnichannel isn’t the Answer?
Baker Johnson -
Vice President, Marketing,

Traditional omnichannel strategies have failed modern, smartphone-centric consumers. Channel-stacking requires channel-switching, which breaks the customer journey and introduces latency, frustration, and complexity that thwart efforts to improve the customer experience. In this Big Ideas session, learn how leaders in tech-forward industries like IoT, On-Demand Delivery, eCommerce and Home Automation are retooling for this new modality, by embedding and blending voice and digital channels to orchestrate and deliver more seamless, contextual, and natural experiences.

Accelerating Multi-Channel Success: Why Relevance is the Answer
Joel Sandi -
Senior Manager Digital Support,
8x8
Bonnie Chase - Sr. Product Marketing Manager, Coveo
There are many areas where support leaders are investing to make their omni-channel support more effective: chatbots, live chat, mobile, and more. But just making those channels available doesn’t necessarily mean they will be effective. Relevance is about delivering the right information to a customer, based on who they are, what they have done before, and what has made others like them successful. It’s the holy grail of digital support.
Learn how 8x8 is injecting relevance in every touch point across channels to offer the contextual and tailored experience customers expect. You’ll come out with proven practices and technologies to reinvent your support experience, increase self-service adoption and boost case deflection.

2:15 pm - 2:45 pm How Banks Can Build a Seamless Client Experience for the Next Round of PPP Cory Haynes - Vice President of Industry Strategy, Financial Services and Insurance, Talkdesk
With the new law signed and passed, the new $900 billion deal includes $284 billion for the PPP, which reopens after two previous tranches: $367 billion in March 2020 and an additional $285 billion in April 2020, for a total of $652 billion. Much like the program’s first and second iteration, the third will be in the form of forgivable loans to small firms, but there are likely to be key changes on issues such as eligibility for second-time applicants and other types of forgivable expenses. While many banks struggled to efficiently operate and distribute money during the first PPP window, join this session to learn how:
- The new round of PPP will be different
- Banks can prepare and provide a seamless client experience
- Avoiding mistakes can retain client loyalty
