Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between the two workshops?
The CX workshop is tailored to customer service leaders managing customer-facing support, including contact centers. The IT workshop is tailored to IT and employee service leaders, focused on the foundations (e.g., workflows, integrations, access controls, and governance) to scale AI responsibly.
Can I attend both workshops?
Yes, leaders who are interested in attending both workshops are welcome to do so. They’re on different days so you can join both sessions.
What will I use to capture my plan during the workshop?
A guided worksheet. You’ll fill it out live and can reuse it after the session to track progress.
What can I expect from the keynote session?
The on‑demand keynote covers the future of service in the AI era— agentic service, outcomes-first thinking, and responsible adoption—plus a brief overview of the live workshop.
Do I have to be a Zendesk customer to attend?
No, AI Masterclass is open to anyone and is designed to be broadly applicable.
Are the live workshops product training sessions?
No, the focus is on frameworks, planning, and practical next steps. Each session includes a guided Zendesk walkthrough showing what strong foundations and agentic resolution look like in practice, but the majority of the time is dedicated to readiness assessment and building your plan.
What content is included after the live workshops?
The on‑demand hub includes deeper education and best practices, real-world use cases, and optional Zendesk product demos to illustrate how teams implement the approach.
Can I add a workshop after I've already registered?
Unfortunately, workshop selections can’t be updated after registration is complete. If you’re unsure which workshop you’d like to attend, we recommend selecting both when you register to keep your options open.
