Agenda

Agentic AI is reshaping how digital leaders drive growth. In this keynote, explore how to move beyond experimentation to scalable, revenue-generating use cases across the customer journey. Discover proven strategies to operationalize AI within SAP Business Suite and Customer Experience to deliver smarter engagement, faster decisions, and sustainable growth.

Payal Hindocha – Global SAP CX GTM Director

Peter van Hees is an innovation strategist and inspiring keynote speaker who helps organizations understand how technology and digital change are shaping the future of customer experience. He turns complex trends like AI into clear, practical insights and shows how companies can create more meaningful and connected customer moments.

Your next customer won't browse your website, read your FAQ, or wait on hold. They'll send an agent.

The friction-laden customer journeys we've built - apps, portals, support queues - are about to collapse. In the Agent-First Era, autonomous AI Agents execute tasks on behalf of humans. They compare, negotiate, and transact without patience, emotion, or brand loyalty. The rules of customer experience are being rewritten.

This keynote dismantles the old CX playbook and arms you with what comes next: why UX is being replaced by AX (Agent Experience), how trust becomes a quantifiable metric, and what it means when your "customer" is a machine optimizing for outcomes, not feelings.

The businesses that thrive won't be the ones with the prettiest interfaces. They'll be the ones whose systems are legible, trustworthy, and frictionless - for machines.
