The interactive keynote sessions and panel discussions focus on Saudi Vision 2030 as the driving force behind CX enhancements, fostering innovation, and customer-centric technology solutions. The summit highlights the significance of strong customer experience, employee experience, and customer loyalty program management, all of which are fundamental to the success of many of the world’s leading brands. As customer expectations continue to evolve, these elements become increasingly critical.

Don Smith, Global Chief Consulting Officer at Capillary Technologies, commented: “The rising tide of customer experience (CX) and loyalty benefits both brands and their consumers. As customers report more favorable interactions with brands—especially when businesses anticipate their needs and personalize interactions—these customers develop emotional bonds with the brands that deliver the best experiences. Predictive and generative AI methodologies are experiencing accelerated growth, and the challenge for marketers is to leverage these technologies in a customer-centric way that improves how customers feel about their brand interactions. AI solutions are becoming an important part of a broader marketing strategy informed by voice-of-customer research and focused on meeting brands' financial objectives by motivating desired customer behaviors.”

Ayman Lafe Al Aqeli , Customer Experience and Digital channels expert from leading water company, said: “Enhancing customer experience (CX) can significantly contribute to business growth across various sectors. Positive customer experiences promote loyalty and increase repeat purchases. Retaining existing customers is often less costly than acquiring new ones. Technology and AI streamline operations, provide personalized and proactive services, and offer valuable insights, all of which contribute to an enhanced customer experience. By leveraging these tools effectively, businesses can improve customer satisfaction, build stronger relationships, and drive long-term loyalty.
