Ready for AI: how to set your team — and your data — up for success
Breakout | AIAI is only as good as what it has to work with. For many teams, the conversation is not whether to adopt AI, but if their data, categories, and workflows are ready to make it worthwhile. In this session, our experts will walk through what good preparation actually looks like. You will leave with a clear picture of where to start and how to build momentum in your own organization.

One tool, every team: a customer's journey from IT to other departments
Breakout | ESMExpanding service management beyond IT sounds promising but making it work across teams takes the right choices in ownership, design, and adoption. In this session, attendees will hear practical lessons from someone who has been through it on how to create momentum across departments while keeping the experience manageable for both teams and end users.

Knowledge that works: building a service management practice that lasts
Breakout | WorkshopKnowledge management is one of the highest-impact practices a service team can invest in, and yet one of the most underused. In this workshop, we cover the full picture: how to structure it, maintain it, and make it work for both operators and customers. AI plays a role, of course, but the foundation comes first. Leave with a plan for building something that actually sticks.

Your data, your decisions: what good reporting actually looks like
Breakout | DataGood reporting is not just pulling more data. It is understanding the outcomes that matter: resolution times, CSAT, reopen rates, time and cost perticket. In this session, we help you identify where the bottlenecks are in your service process and how to eliminate them, using the reports andintegrations already available in your platform. Bring your real numbers and leave with a clearer picture of where to focus next.

Data you can trust: our approach to residency, governance and responsible AI
Breakout | DataFor many teams, the real questions about AI start after the excitement: how is data handled, what controls are in place, and what does responsible adoption look like in practice?
