Networking icebreaker
Keynote: The cost of standing still

Speakers: Dave Osborne and Spencer Earp

In the rapidly evolving digital landscape we’re experiencing today, standing still is the biggest risk of all. Legacy systems are reaching end-of-life, AI is reshaping how we work, and customers expect seamless, connected experiences across every touchpoint. This keynote explores what it truly means to move forward with purpose and how choosing the right tools and digital strategy can support you on that journey. 

Powering choice with the Conga Advantage Platform

Speakers: Girish Agarwal and Christine Lavery

Discover how embracing the Conga Advantage Platform unlocks more than just product improvements, it opens the door to a more connected, flexible tech stack. Hear from our customer Vaisala about how and why they moved their digital commerce solution to the platform, the tangible benefits they’ve seen, and what’s possible when you go API-first. With seamless integrations across AWS, Salesforce, Microsoft, and more coming, Conga’s platform gives customers the freedom to choose the partners and tools that work best for them, now and in the future. 

The changing landscape of CPQ: from legacy limits to future-ready frameworks

Legacy CPQ systems are reaching their breaking point. Rising maintenance costs, slower quote cycles, and frustrated sales teams are becoming the norm, not the exception. Join us to explore how to break free from outdated systems and embrace a modern CPQ approach that truly delivers on its promise. You’ll learn how to navigate change using a proven Maturity Model Framework and see how Conga is helping businesses move forward with confidence.

AI is more than just a tool; it’s a transformative force reshaping how we lead, decide, and deliver. In this session, we’ll explore how AI is being embedded across the entire Conga product suite to drive real, measurable outcomes in an ethical way. We’ll confront the cost of inaction, unpack what’s keeping CEOs up at night (both from a risk and opportunity perspective), and show how intelligence with purpose can be your competitive edge.  

Connecting to the future: Conga’s roadmap

Speaker: Rohit Chhabra 

Connect the dots between vision and delivery as we unpack the October release: what we promised and what we delivered. Then shift gears as we look ahead to what’s next on the Conga roadmap. This session bridges the now and the next with live demos and a forward-facing view of Conga’s evolving journey.
