Featured AI Educational Sessions

Artificial intelligence is at the center of this year’s educational program, with three sessions focused on helping organizations successfully adopt and maximize AI technologies.

Networking: Find Savings to Fuel AI
Discover how modernizing your network and IT infrastructure can reduce operational costs and free up budget for AI investments. Learn strategies for cloud connectivity, bandwidth optimization, and eliminating legacy technologies that no longer serve your business.

How AI Is Improving Customer & Employee Experiences
See how AI-powered assistants, intelligent routing, automation, and virtual agents are transforming workplace collaboration. Learn how organizations are improving service levels, reducing wait times, increasing self-service, and creating better experiences for both customers and employees.

Cybersecurity: Double-Edged Sword—How AI Can Both Protect and Threaten Your Organization
We will explore the double-edged sword that AI presents in today’s digital landscape—from the innovative ways it can help protect organizations against sophisticated threats, to how cybercriminals are now leveraging these same technologies to launch more advanced attacks.

You’ll leave with a better understanding of practical defensive strategies, real-world examples of AI-driven attacks, and actionable insights on how to strengthen your organization’s cyber defense posture. Whether you’re responsible for IT, operations, or executive decision-making, this session will help you see both sides of the cybersecurity equation and prepare your business for what’s next.

Early Practical Breakout Sessions
In addition to the main presentations, attendees can participate in specialized breakout sessions designed to address today’s communications and technology challenges.

Learn how TNS Call Branding helps businesses increase answer rates by displaying their company name and logo on caller ID, building trust before customers even answer the phone.

If your organization is still running ShoreTel or Mitel MiVoice Connect, don’t miss the migration session covering upgrade timelines, modernization strategies, and cloud and hybrid communications options that keep your business prepared for the future and don’t forget to ask about special promotions!

You’ll also discover how Intermedia Elevate makes it possible for many organizations to replace aging phone systems with a modern cloud communications platform—often for about the same monthly investment they’re already making on your local long distance calling.
