Barbican Theatre Stage 4:00pm _

He's just not that into you

When personalisation breaks the trust barrier: using Hollywood logic to make sure your customer feels wooed, not pursued.

Your customers love it when you're attuned to their needs. They're less keen when it starts to feel like you know too much, too soon. We'll explore how brands cross from Romcom Hero to Real-life Creep, and why a little restraint builds more trust than showing off what you know.

Axe throwing

Everyone's aiming. Who's making an impact?

Camp Opticon wouldn't be complete without a proper camp activity, so we've brought axe throwing to the Barbican. Soft axes, sharp aim required. Every throw wins a prize, and the top scorers go into the draw for the ultimate prize of a stay at a Corinthia hotel.

Corinthia Hotels

AI agents delivering luxury personalisation at scale

CIPD

Buddy transforms 160,000+ member experiences through conversational AI

CIPD struggled with disconnected digital experiences leaving HR expertise hidden from the professionals who needed it. MSQ DX built Buddy — an AI assistant powered by RAG and GPT-4o — delivering instant, conversational access to CIPD's content library. CIPD went on to win the Memcom Excellence Awards Grand Prix 2024 for their digital strategy.

Corinthia Hotels

A digital transformation with 5-star results

Corinthia's website didn't match its ultra luxury positioning or support its growth ambitions. MSQ DX rebuilt the experience on Optimizely DXP, redesigning guest journeys and integrating the SynXis booking system, delivering 32.5% revenue growth and a 42% jump in bookings for the flagship London hotel.
