Text Nudges, Chatbots, Self-service and More: Why Now is the Time for Low-Code CX – Stephen Ehikian, (LinkedIn profile) Co-founder and CEO, Airkit. Brands like Netflix, Instacart, and Brex demonstrate that digital customer experience (CX) is the difference between survival and extinction in any industry. Yet, most companies struggle to go faster with CX. Customer funnels constantly change, but now there’s more customer data, new conversation channels, and new payment platforms. Low code platforms can manage this complexity and help you develop faster. In this session, Stephen addresses what’s new with low-code for CX, three key features every CX developer needs, and real-life examples of how developers are automating digital CX with quality apps built in low code.
Crossing the low-code and pro-code chasm: a platform approach – Asanka Abeysinghe, (LinkedIn profile) Chief Technology Evangelist at WSO2. Organizations are now using low-code and pro-code tools to build digital experiences internally and externally. However, not having the right alignment between these two approaches slows down delivery. Different developer personas that work in silos, no connection between low-code and pro-code applications, low-code creating unmanageable shadow IT applications, no single codebase or build pipeline, and interruptions to the professional developer flow are some significant drawbacks. In this session, Asanka will look at a platform approach to bridge the low-code and pro-code chasm.
How Low-Code/No-Code Tools Will Democratize Data – Dan Robinson, (LinkedIn profile) CTO of Heap. A recent report by P&S Intelligence predicts that low-code development platform revenue will reach $187B by 2030. This isn’t surprising – the need for companies to be able to deliver compelling digital experiences has accelerated, and low-code/no-code platforms can make that happen more easily. The low-code boom is particularly beneficial for the underdogs who are trying to compete with larger organizations, ones that typically have robust armies of engineers to get the job done. Low-code tools democratize access to data, so more teams can access the ground truth of the customer experience. That means iterating more quickly based on data, running on better information, etc. With easier access to data, more teams, startups, and small companies are able to generate breakthroughs. That means analysis isn’t just the domain of the enterprise anymore, or of centralized teams, and many more teams benefit from data literacy. There’s more data than ever, but having a dataset doesn’t automatically mean you’ll get the maximum value out of it. That’s what the next wave of low-code data tools is all about: helping people get value out of these datasets.

Adroc will share practical strategies and current examples of how to leverage open talent staffing models and create a successful “community and crowdsourcing first” culture that permeates throughout IT to maximize the value of hybrid development teams in remote environments.
How Low-Code and No-Code can help navigate through the pandemic – Kay Lankheet, (LinkedIn profile) Field Services Manager, CLEVR. There is a shortage of engineers and mechanics to go out into the field to repair or maintain utility and infrastructural installations in people’s homes. One in every five U.S. households had at least one member who was unable to get medical care or who had to delay care for a serious medical problem during the pandemic. Government agencies struggle to serve their citizens with everyday life events like registrations of births and marriages. This is the recent reality of various businesses, organizations and consumers during the pandemic. During this presentation Kay will show how low-code and no-code can help navigate through the pandemic with real-life examples (and their results).
