One of the biggest events for IT decision-makers is happening September 27 - 29. The roles of IT decision-makers, including the IT director and CIO, have never been more influential. In a recent Harvey Nash survey, three-quarters of CIOs said that they played the role of educator to their CEOs in 2020, and from then on, their and their team’s influence within the organization has been steadily increasing.

Enterprise Connect is always at the top of IT decision-makers’ annual events lists. The event brings together IT leaders, industry vendors, channel partners, analysts, and consultants to focus on the issues central to enterprise communications and collaboration. The allure for attendees is that this is a vendor-neutral event, and therefore a trusted source for comprehensive analysis, in-depth information, and expert insights for those who plan their organization’s enterprise communications and collaboration strategy.

This year's Enterprise Connect theme is “Build the Next Generation of Enterprise Communications & Collaboration.” This is incredibly important as IT leaders are now navigating a workplace that is evolving and pivoting constantly as plans move from back to office, to hybrid, to full remote, and then back again. Agility is at the top of every CIO's and IT director’s mind.

8x8 could not be more thrilled to be part of Enterprise Connect this year, as it recently announced the 8x8 Experience Communications Platform, that is built for the next generation of enterprise communications and collaboration.

8x8’s CEO, Dave Sipes, will be addressing this topic in his September 28th keynote, “Meet 8x8 platform: A New Era of Cloud Communications,” as well as announcing a new 8x8 product that speaks to the pivoting workplace and the future of work.

But we’re not stopping there. Click here or see below for a full list of 8x8’s sessions at Enterprise Connect. We hope you’ll join us virtually for one or all three days. The event this year in a virtual setting gives attendees access to all of the conference’s content for free.
