Join Cassie Kozyrkov, Google’s former Chief Decision Scientist, and Cresta for a candid conversation on what it takes to build AI that’s trusted, helpful, and enterprise-ready. From broken bot experiences to the promise of generative AI in high stakes contact centers, we’ll unpack the technical, operational, and human challenges of deploying automation at scale.
Learn why so many AI Agents fail to live up to customer expectations and how combining the right technology, data-driven design and scalable testing can change everything. We’ll explore what makes contact centers uniquely suited for AI transformation, what guardrails are essential for reliability, and what customer experience will look like when AI agents benefit both businesses and consumers.

Changing technology and customer needs are reshaping the contact center more rapidly than ever before, and businesses that don’t ride the wave risk being flattened by it. In the opening keynote, Ping Wu, CEO of Cresta, will share what the coming years will look like as the customer experience fundamentally transforms. Join us for a look into the future as we unveil new advancements from Cresta to power your success now and for years to come.
