“With the speed of change, keeping an open conversation is so important. We want to ensure that we adopt technology into our lives in an intuitive, sustainable, and creative way.”

A crucial challenge in the tech world today is finding the right balance between fast-moving technological progress and integrating these advances thoughtfully to enhance customer experience.
Central to this rapid technological evolution is artificial intelligence (AI), which stands as the driving force behind these transformative changes. Today, we are truly in the middle of an AI revolution, and at Converge, we heard tech visionaries and disruptive leaders share how they use AI to empower industries and human development.
Over 40,000 people worldwide registered for our November 30th event, listening to speakers like Mark Benioff, Chair and CEO of Salesforce, Walter Isaacson, best-selling author and acclaimed historian, and Gillian Zucker, President of Business Operations at the LA Clippers, among others, discuss the innovative ways they are using AI to improve customer experience.
