Kantata Converge: Where AI Meets Expertise
Premier Professional Services Automation conference kicks off in London November 17
IRVINE, CA – October 8, 2026 – AI can process the past, but only experts can imagine and drive the future. On November 17, Kantata, a leading provider of Professional Services Automation (PSA) solutions, will gather leading thinkers and practitioners to do just this at Kantata Converge, the premier conference for PSA. The exclusive event will take place at Stationers’ Hall in London.
“For generations, expertise has shaped how industries evolve. AI expands what’s possible, but it’s human experience, judgment, and perspective that will determine what comes next,” said Lisa Bianco, Chief Marketing Officer, Kantata. “Kantata Converge is a unique forum where professional services leaders can explore how human expertise and AI can work together to capture what experts know, transform service delivery, and drive better outcomes.”
AI is creating new ways to capture, apply and scale expertise and opening possibilities for how professional services organizations operate and deliver. Kantata Converge brings together the best and brightest in professional services to address the practical questions firms are facing today: How can organizations capture and preserve critical expertise? How can they put AI to work in service delivery while keeping human judgment at the center? And how can they use both to improve outcomes for their people, clients and businesses?
Among the visionaries and Kantata customers set to share cutting-edge insights and best practices that will help answer these questions and drive the industry forward:
- Michael Speranza, CEO, Kantata
- Sarah Edwards, Chief Product Strategy Officer, Kantata
- Alessandro Perilli, Vice President, AI Economics, IDC
- Rebekah Boone, Senior Manager, Hitachi Vantara
- Lori Palmer, Director, Enterprise Applications, Lumanity
- Lara Longhurst, Chief Operating Officer, Hippo Digital
- Dr. Richard Peagam, Managing Director, Digital Solutions, Anthesis
- Phil Pounder, Operations Manager, Scott Logic
“AI is transforming the enterprise, changing how organizations leverage expertise to make decisions and create value,” said Alessandro Perilli, Vice President, AI Economics, IDC. “I look forward to joining Kantata Converge to discuss how enterprises can harness the scale of AI and the wealth of their human capital to deliver meaningful business outcomes.”
Attendees can also explore the art of what’s possible with Kantata’s AI-powered PSA Platform during interactive breakout sessions featuring Kantata customers who will share practical, actionable advice on moving beyond process automation to drive business transformation. And the event will feature ample time for networking and peer learning.
