Welcome back to the UC Today Big UC Show! This month, we’re cutting through the noise to bring you the real story behind the latest industry shakeups. The unified communications space is no longer just about basic connectivity; it’s evolving into a complex ecosystem of AI-driven customer experience and edge computing. But are the industry’s biggest events keeping pace? We sit down to dissect the hits and misses of Enterprise Connect 2026 and explore where the real innovation is happening right now.
Here’s what we cover in this jam-packed session:
