Enterprise Voice AI Meetup: From Pilots to Production & Agent Orchestration
Tired of voice AI demos that crush it in pilots but never make it into production?
Join us for an evening focused on the real challenges of scaling voice AI in enterprise environments. We'll dive into the unexpected roadblocks and critical lessons learned from teams who've made the journey from pilot to production, plus explore what's next as we move toward orchestrating complex agent workflows using MCP and A2A.
We'll have pizza, drinks, and time to geek out about architecture decisions and war stories. Whether you're knee-deep in voice AI development or just starting to explore what's possible, come hang out with folks solving real voice AI problems in production.
Got Something to Share?
A problem you're wrestling with? Or just want to bounce an idea off the room? We're setting aside time for 5-minute lightning talks where you can demo, pitch, or just share what you're working on.
Featured Speakers:
Going from 90% to 100%: Customizability and Control of AI Voice Agents
Lily Clifford, CEO of Rime, will start with the hairy edge-cases: product names, regionalisms, and multilingual mash-ups that trip even state-of-the-art TTS models. You’ll learn practical techniques for fine-grained pronunciation control—dynamic lexicons, SSML and IPA overrides, forced-alignment audits, and real-time “phoneme patching” driven by an LLM. Next, we’ll dive into tool-calling orchestration: how to reliably chain ASR → LLM → TTS without blowing your latency budget, and how to design graceful degradations when one link in the chain stumbles.
Orchestrating Enterprise Voice Agents: Scaling Beyond the Easy Wins with MCP and A2A
Alan Nichol, CTO and Co-founder of Rasa, will share how Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent-to-Agent (A2A) architectures enable organizations to orchestrate truly intelligent voice experiences that scale beyond simple FAQ responses. Learn how leading enterprises are leveraging these frameworks to create voice agents that seamlessly navigate complex business processes and deliver personalized experiences at scale.
