During September, BCStrategies' Jon Arnold and Chris Pine both attended industry events in New York City, so they have lots to talk about in this podcast. First up was the Cloud Communications Alliance Financial Summit, which Jon attended for the first time and spoke on the analyst panel session. They discuss how the current state of things – crowded and very competitive – is impacting valuations and growth opportunities. Bottom line: cloud providers need to expand beyond UCaaS into CCaaS and CPaaS, and be ready for what’s coming with AI.

Chris recaps two events – CREtech and WORKTECH23, reviewing how today’s office spaces are adapting to bring workers back to the office. This is a key element for anybody’s future of work plans, and Chris also shares first-hand takeaways from tours to Cisco, Google and WestCap’s state-of-the-art facilities. Buckle-up, as they cover a lot of ground on this episode!
