Clarion Events has revealed that its UCX Europe brand is set to come to the United States of America next year.
In an announcement at UC Expo in London on October 12, the company confirmed that UCX USA will be held at the Fairmont Austin hotel in Austin, Texas, on September 13 and 14, 2023.
Connections will be at the heart of the inaugural UCX USA in the form of peer-to-peer networking, best-in-class matchmaking, and a conference program which will inspire workplace strategies.
Angela Harar, Portfolio Director, Clarion Events, commented: “Our ongoing conversations with end-users, analysts, consultants, vendors and partners confirmed there is a gap in the US market to serve unified communications and collaboration industry professionals.
“We were asked to launch an alternative to existing US events; something different, something experiential and something that guarantees value.”
The event will showcase more than 40 featured companies from across the unified communications and collaboration sector to give visitors a taste of employee and customer experience technologies for organisations of all sizes.
Clarion Events has confirmed that the content for UCX USA has been overseen by Irwin Lazer, the President and Principal Analyst of Metrigy.
The content is designed to foster peer engagement to co-create the future of connections between employees, customers, and communities.
The agenda for the event will feature over 50 guest speakers presenting on topics such as the future of work, the hybrid workspace, collaboration, and more.
James McGough, Manager Director, Technology, Clarion UK, added: “UC&C has become a business-critical issue for organisations of all sizes.
“Demand for UC&C events now outweighs supply, particularly in the US.
“UCX USA aims to offer exceptional value while providing an interactive and valuable experience.”
According to Clarion Events, UCX Europe attracts over 8,000 visitors and more than 100 exhibitors, which include the world’s leading brands.
