6 Must-Attend Call Center Conferences in 2026

Not sure which call center conferences are actually worth your time in 2026? Start here.

With the surge of interest in AI, virtual call centers, and omnichannel customer experience, there’s more to learn than ever for technology and customer service leaders. The right event can help you see what’s coming next — and how other teams are adapting in real time.

Attending a call or contact center conference can help you:

• Network with industry peers who are solving similar challenges.
• Learn from case studies across competitors and adjacent industries.
• Get hands-on demos of the latest contact center platforms and tools.
• Hear from thought leaders on CX best practices and emerging trends.
• Stay ahead of customer expectations around service and satisfaction.

You could try to do all of this online or by hosting a vendor demo in your office. But a well-run conference gives you a structured agenda, a curated mix of exhibitors, and focused time away from day-to-day distractions — so you can actually absorb what you’re learning and bring back actionable ideas to your team.

I’ve attended hundreds of conferences as a customer, contact center vendor, and external consultant. I can’t speak highly enough of the positive experience when you dedicate a few days to information intake and for continuous improvement in your business and career.

Here are the top six call center conferences I highly recommend for 2026.
