How customer success can break or make your business

Gosia FitzGerald,

With rapid technological advancements, barriers to entry are becoming lower across many industries. There’s also a boom in one-person businesses. This increases competition, making it harder to stand out. In this presentation, we’ll explore how to achieve the balance between automating customer service and doing things that don’t scale. Unparalleled Service + Sales = Customer Success.

3. Your customers are not in your office, so you need to hit the road and visit them in person or make sure you make the online touchpoints that count.

Design Patterns For AI Interfaces In 2025

Vitaly Friedman,

Founder,

Not a day passes by without a shiny new AI demo making its rounds on the web.

It shines when it fixes actual problems that it has, not when it screams for attention that it doesn’t deserve.

In this session, we’ll dive into emerging design patterns, UX guidelines and 100s of real-life examples of AI systems that help users get work done better and faster — with better scoping, style lenses, clustering, recommendations, feedback loop and many other features. Roll up your sleeves!
