Hands-on Workshop: Building Up Bot Managers & Automation Leaders
In the world of CX Automation, we often find ourselves buried in the weeds, leaving little room for our own development. But to influence cross-functionally and make space for strategic work, it's crucial that we take charge of our own growth.
In this hands-on workshop, you'll gather with other bot managers to:
- Identify important soft-skills goals for your development as a bot manager
- Articulate the specific, actionable behavior changes that will lead to growth
- Explore the strengths pushing you forward and obstacles holding you back
- Build time-bound milestones to move your development forward
Level up the essential-skills to step into a more confident Bot Manager and Leader.

Predicting AI-first customer service
A recap of last year's Ada Interact
Read the blog postMissed us last year in Chicago?
Check out Ada’s CEO, Mike Murchison, giving a keynote about the AI future, as well as the main takeaways from the event.
-
Ada put on terrific show. Really well run, well executed event. It was a tremendous opportunity to hear what's actually resonating with those customers, what they're actually prioritizing, and take back learnings to some of our other customers, or even ourselves internally. So it's been a really spectacular event from that perspective.
-
Ada Interact is the best conference that I've been to so far in this space. It's such a welcoming environment, we're well-taken care of, and there's a great calibur of attendees. It's also interactive, true to the name. Everyone is here to engage and be involved in conversations, everyone has a way to get involved. That's what sets it apart for me.
