Innovation Showcase 2025: ConTEXTual Communications
Nominations are now open for the Enterprise Connect 2025 Innovation Showcase!
Each year, the Enterprise Connect Innovation Showcase introduces new companies to the Enterprise Connect audience that provide innovative solutions in a designated technology area. The theme this year is Textual Interactions Reinvented. Over the past decade, we’ve seen a proliferation of text-based interactions, communications, and collaboration. Texual-based interactions are becoming a bigger portion of the enterprise communications pie.
This year, the Innovation Showcase is seeking innovations in text, be it AI-powered use cases including automation, sentiment, and translation; notification services; new textual channels; emojis and other special characters; and new use cases for email, webchat, SMS/RCS, or other apps. Simply stated, we seek innovations in textual-based interactions. Attend this session to hear what forward-thinking LOB managers should know or consider from six curated, innovative companies selected by a panel of independent judges.
The Innovation Showcase 2025 will feature six innovative companies, selected by a panel of independent judges.
