UCX USA to Revolutionize the Future of Work and Customer Tech through Connections-First Event in 2023 ​​​​​

Shelton, CT October 7, 2022 -  Clarion Events announces UCX USA, the newest event in the unified communications and collaboration industry. UCX USA will be held in Austin, Texas, on September 13-14, 2023. Connections will be at the heart of the inaugural UCX USA in the form of unparalleled peer-to-peer networking, best-in-class matchmaking, and a cutting-edge conference program which will inspire future workplace strategies. The event will also showcase more than 40 featured companies spanning best in class employee and customer experience technologies providing solutions for companies of all sizes across every sector. UCX USA is owned by Clarion Events, proud owners of UCX Europe, the EU's leading unified communications & collaboration event since 2011. UCX Europe attracts 8000+ visitors and 100+ exhibitors including the world’s leading brands.

“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,” said Angela Harar, Portfolio Director, Clarion Events. “We were asked to launch an alternative to existing US events; something different, something experiential and something that guarantees value.”

UCX USA is endorsed by the Interactive Multimedia & Collaborative Communications Alliance (IMCCA) and supported by The Society of Communications Technology Consultants (SCTC), AV User Group and UC Today and has received early commitments from BIAMP, BlueJeans by Verizon and QSC to sponsor the event.

“The IMCCA is proud to partner with Clarion to make UCX USA a terrific opportunity to grow the collaboration industry through agnostic education and valuable networking opportunities,” said Carol Zelkin, IMCCA Executive Director and UCX USA Advisory Board Member.

With guidance from its world-class Advisory Board comprised of leading end users, analysts, supporters, and vendors, UCX USA is aligned to address the biggest organizational challenges of the day for unified communications and collaboration professionals attracting a highly qualified and engaged audience.  

“UC&C has become a business-critical issue for organizations of all sizes. Demand for UC&C events now outweighs supply, particularly in the US,” said James McGough, Manager Director, Technology, Clarion UK. “UCX USA aims to offer exceptional value while providing an interactive and valuable experience.”

The content, overseen by Education Task Force Chairperson, Irwin Lazar, President and Principal Analyst of Metrigy, is designed to foster peer engagement to co-create the future of connections – with employees, customers, and communities. Developed in partnership with IMCCA and UCX Europe, the agenda will feature over 50 speakers presenting on topics including but not limited to: The Future of Work: How Do We Define the New Future and Move Forward Together; Creating Shared Experiences Through Tech Despite a Hybrid Workforce; Collaboration and the Future Office; How to Make Collaboration Easy for Everyone; and The Future of Hyper-Personalization and First Customer Contact.

UCX USA will take place at Fairmont Austin, the city’s playground for sophistication. Designed to exceed expectations and offer the highest level of luxury in downtown Austin, the property sits at the heart of the city’s vibrant culinary, tech, arts, music, and nature scenes.
