With mounting pressure to streamline operations, cut costs, and improve security, IT leaders are accelerating tech consolidation. By 2026, 75% of organizations will pursue vendor consolidation to boost efficiency and reduce costs (Gartner).

But consolidation isn’t just an IT initiative—it’s key to enhancing employee experience (EX) and productivity. A fragmented EX stack leads to inefficiencies, disengagement, and rising costs.

This session will explore what’s driving this shift, the hidden costs of fragmentation, and how a unified platform—combining intranet, AI-powered search, and extensibility—boosts communication, productivity, and engagement. Plus, hear a Simpplr customer’s firsthand experience.

Employee experience is evolving faster than ever, with AI, automation, and consumer-grade workplace tech reshaping how organizations engage and connect with their people. As HR and internal communications become more intertwined, what trends actually matter—and how can you stay ahead?

Join our expert panel for a candid conversation on the future of employee experience, the new rules of engagement and workplace culture, and the must-have skills every HR and IC leader needs to thrive in this rapidly changing landscape.

AI is revolutionizing content creation—but can it truly capture human connection?

This session explores how to balance AI’s efficiency with the empathy and nuance that only people can bring to internal communications. It’s not just about speed; it’s about making every message resonate.

Through real-world case studies, we’ll explore how IC and IT teams can work together to identify, select, and implement the right technology to maximize impact.

Let’s talk money, metrics, and making your case. In this practical session, we’ll show you how to position a modern intranet as a strategic, must-have investment that leadership can’t ignore.
