From the first SMS to AgentOS: What 20 years of data reveals about CX

Date: May 27, 2026
Time: 4:30PM CET

About the event

628 billion interactions in 2025, 3.8 trillion messages over 20 years, and one persistent question from the brands sending them: how do we turn all of this into better customer experiences?
Our panel of industry experts will walk through what two decades of messaging data reveals about CX — and what it means for your strategy in 2026.
Join us for research-backed insights and bring your questions!

Get ready to discover

  • The four eras of messaging — from single-channel SMS to AI-orchestrated journeys — and what each shift changed for brands
  • Why 97.7% of traffic now runs across 2+ channels, and why orchestration has replaced channel selection as the central challenge
  • The SMS paradox: why volumes didn’t drop, and what the shift from 99% to 62% share actually tells you
  • How regulation — OTP bans, verified sender requirements, fraud frameworks — is reshaping customer journey design from the ground up
  • Where the real maturity gap is between regions, and what the most advanced markets are already doing
  • What leaders should invest in next — and why it’s probably not a new channel
