SUMMARY:The future of customer onboarding
DESCRIPTION:Most onboarding programs still run on a fixed timeline: a set walkthrough\, then silence until renewal. That doesn’t match how often products change now\, or what customers expect once the sales process ends. \nSo what replaces the 90-day model? And when AI can personalize onboarding content and handle scheduling and admin\, what’s actually left for the CSM to do? \nJoin Kadee Acree\, Director of Customer Success at UKG\, as she breaks down what’s replacing time-boxed onboarding: continuous programs that adjust to each customer\, clear lines between what to automate and what needs a person\, and new ways to tell if onboarding is actually working. \nWhat we’re covering:\n\nThe end of the 90-day model: Why fixed-timeline onboarding breaks down when products ship weekly\, and what’s replacing it.\nThe human vs. automation split: Which onboarding tasks (scheduling\, file transfer\, status updates) should be handed to the customer or automated\, and where a CSM still needs to show up.\nAI in onboarding\, today: Which AI-driven onboarding uses are already delivering results\, and which are still stuck at the pilot stage.\n\nIn this session\, you’ll learn how to:\n\nMove from a fixed onboarding period to a continuous\, adaptive one\nSeparate onboarding admin work from the parts that require judgment\nGive customers a way to progress without waiting on a CSM\nEvaluate which AI onboarding tools are ready to use and which aren’t\nMeasure onboarding success without relying on a fixed end date

SUMMARY:The Shift: How support became the new front line of customer success
DESCRIPTION:How the most reactive team in the business became its most strategic\, and what that means for how you organize around the customer. \nSupport and success have long operated on a handoff model: support puts out fires\, success owns the relationship. \nThat model is breaking. Not because support’s mandate changed\, but because AI can now surface what support teams have known all along: every ticket is a data point on friction\, customer sentiment\, and risk. AI can find those patterns at scale\, in real time\, in ways a static health score never could. \nIf your QBRs are full of positive conversations only to be followed by an unexpected churn notice\, you’re likely missing the signals hiding in your day-to-day support interactions. \nJoin Ashley Wagner\, VP of Customer Experience\, Blackthorn.io\, Hélène Vincent\, CRO\, and Jonathan Lapinsky\, CPO\, TeamSupport\, as they make the case for a different operating model\, one where every support interaction becomes customer intelligence that equips customer success with the signals they need to build stronger relationships\, reduce churn\, and identify expansion opportunities.

SUMMARY:From Behavior to Business Value -- Operationalizing Customer Experience
DESCRIPTION:from business performance. In today’s digital\, data-rich environment\, that approach is no longer sufficient. \nUnfortunately\, many organizations have taken a misguided approach for delivering CX\, focusing on reactive activities rather than intentionally designing for CX. For successful CX\, a shift is needed to enable meaningful measures that not only reflect customer interactions\, but also how CX impacts business results. \nThis presentation introduces a practical framework for transforming CX into a measurable business driver by aligning employee behaviors with customer expectations and linking those behaviors directly to business results. \nKey Takeaways:\n– Where good CX actually starts.\n– Moving from perception metrics to business results.\n– Critical factors for success for CX measurement.

SUMMARY:How agentic AI drives product adoption.
DESCRIPTION:CS teams are expected to drive faster onboarding\, stronger product adoption\, and better customer outcomes\, often without additional headcount. Traditional customer education\, built on static courses and one-size-fits-none onboarding paths\, can’t keep up. \nIn this live session with LearnUpon\, we’ll explore how agentic customer education uses AI and real-time customer behavior to give every customer a learning path built around them. \nIf you lead a CS or Support team\, this session will show you how to get customers to value faster\, without adding headcount to do it. \nWhat we’re covering:\n\nThe shift to agentic customer education – why static LMS courses and linear onboarding flows are being replaced by learning experiences that adapt to each customer’s behavior\, in real time.\nOnboarding that reads the room – how AI agents detect when a customer is stuck\, hesitating\, or moving fast\, and adjust the journey accordingly\, without a CSM manually triggering anything.\nProving it matters – the frameworks CS leaders are using to connect customer education directly to time-to-value and support ticket volume\, so it’s never framed as a “nice to have.”\n\nIn this session\, you’ll learn how to:\n\nReduce repetitive onboarding and product training without sacrificing the customer experience.\nDeliver personalized learning journeys based on real-time customer behavior.\nUse AI to automate course creation\, enrollment\, reminders\, and progress tracking.\nFree your CS team to focus on strategic customer conversations.\nMeasure the impact of customer education on product adoption\, support tickets\, and time-to-value.\nBuild a scalable customer education strategy that grows alongside your customer base.
