Here are three top reasons to attend what’s become a well-respected and well-attended CX industry event.

The list includes Stratifyd, which offers a connected intelligence solution that bridges the gap between insights and outcomes via a powerful engine that unifies all structured and unstructured data sources.
Code Factory SL will demonstrate its innovative voice interaction technology for self-service kiosks. Founded in 1998 and headquartered in the Barcelona area in Spain, Code Factory is committed to providing solutions that improve the way that people interact with technology.

No. 3: Expert insight, networking opportunities
The three-day ICX Summit will feature days of panel talks involving leaders across a spectrum of industries, from retail to hospitality to travel and restaurants. They’ll share what’s worked for them when it comes to customer experience and what they’re planning for the future.
Topics range from creating a more inclusive experience with panelists from apc and Hudson’s Bay to a deep dive look at the frictionless customer journey and identifying what’s fantasy and what’s fact.
