Product Support Summit
Meeting rising pressure with multimodal AI
The Robey, Chicago┃October 1, 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
The balancing act of customer support
How AI turns competing expectations into a single capability
Customer support teams are being pulled in multiple directions at once. Customers expect more from every interaction, leadership expects efficiency, brand teams expect consistency, and compliance teams expect accountability. AI makes meeting all of those expectations at once realistic, and has the power to turn support from a cost center into a strategic engine.
At this summit, senior support, CX, and operations leaders will hear directly from companies already doing it. You'll get real examples and practical frameworks for teams ready to make the shift.

Watch our highlights from last year's event in Chicago
10:00 AM - Registration and breakfast
Pick up your badge, grab a coffee or cold drink, and connect with Product Support peers. Explore the demo area and meet the Mavenoid team ahead of an afternoon of insight, inspiration and action.
10:30 AM - From phone to self-serve: guiding customers to the channel that works
Faced with a need to do more with less, Generac used AI to guide customers toward the most effective, efficient, and cost-effective channels, without sacrificing the experience. This session gets into how you make that shift, and how you introduce self-service to a customer base accustomed to picking up the phone.
11:15 AM - Scaling CX without scaling headcount
Leadership expects support to handle more volume and complexity without a proportional increase in cost. A practical look at how multimodal AI absorbs demand that would otherwise mean new hires.
12:00 PM - Lunch
1:15 PM - Beyond GenAI: How Kwikset (Assa Abloy) built an AI support agent that actually works
Customers expect real answers, and a chatbot that only gestures at understanding won't cut it. Kwikset built a knowledge base that works the way an agent would, grounded in real product knowledge. This session breaks down what that took to build, and where the gap still sits between AI that looks capable and AI that actually is.
2:00 PM - Support as the backbone of a growing portfolio
As companies acquire new brands and expand into new markets, support often gets left to catch up after the fact. Close out the day with a look at how AI helps meet that challenge — building a single, repeatable model that flexes across brands and languages without starting from scratch each time, and turns support into the strategic engine behind that growth.
3:00 PM - Rooftop reception
We'll end the day poolside on the rooftop, taking in the Chicago skyline and making the most of the last days of late summer. No swimming, just good conversation and even better views.
Venue
📍 The Robey, 2018 W North Ave, Chicago
The Robey is a 1929 warehouse turned boutique hotel in Wicker Park — one of Chicago's most characterful neighborhoods, known for its independent shops, artisan bakeries, and ever-changing restaurant scene.
With two rooftop terraces overlooking the city skyline, it's a space that lends itself to good conversations, new connections, and a bit of inspiration along the way.
