Forrester's 2026 CX Events: Building Experiences AI Can't
How can CX leaders build experiences that AI can't? The next competitive divide won’t be about who has AI — it will be about who can build the experiences that humans crave and that AI alone can’t deliver. Forrester VP and Group Research Director Keith Johnston reveals Forrester's 2026 CX event theme and explains why AI will turbocharge efficiency but human‑designed, trust‑led experiences will determine who actually wins.
For CX, marketing, and digital business leaders, this moment raises a critical question:
Are you simply adding AI to existing journeys, or are you rebuilding the foundations that make AI matter?
Here’s what it means for leaders like you:
• Human creativity, empathy, and judgment remain essential — qualities AI can’t replicate.
• AI must be grounded in trusted identity, context, and high‑quality data.
• You have to deliver on your total experience with intent so that your brand is unified and unmistakable.

AI's Impact on Jobs by 2030
How will AI and automation shape the future of jobs? In this video, Forrester’s J.P. Gownder reveals the real impact of AI on employment and how many 'AI layoffs' are, in fact, financial layoffs.
