Innovation Showcase 2025

April 24, 2025 by Dave Michels

We selected Four companies for the Innovation showcase at Enterprise Connect 2025.

Thanks to AI, textual communications have become central to modern communications. Text has never been more popular than it is now.

At Enterprise Connect there is no subtext. We want to see what’s new and exciting in textual communications. Each year, the Innovation Showcase selects a theme within enterprise communications, and this year it’s text. We set out to find new tools and features that help us communicate in bold.

This year, the judges were Thomas Brannen, Justin Robbins, and Dom Black. They took their roles seriously, blocked out the necessary time, and often went well beyond the submitted applications to evaluate the companies.

Here are the after-presentation videos.
