Drawing more than 3,000 Avaya users, speakers and leadership, Avaya ENGAGE 2018 was held last week in the birthplace of jazz—beautiful New Orleans. The event is comprised of content and speakers from the Avaya user community to learn, network and engage with some of the most prolific minds in the Avaya space about hot topics like artificial intelligence, customer experience, next-gen collaboration, cloud, and IoT, among others.

A diamond level Avaya partner and gold level sponsor of the event, the Carousel team busily entertained clients at our booth themed “Full Speed Ahead”—symbolic of IT leaders’ speed in which they must drive digital transformation for their businesses. Comprised of 12 dynamic video screens showcasing Carousel solutions and services, a virtual reality regatta theater, and an intimate 1:1 section devoted to meeting with attendees, booth visitors could interactively learn how Carousel’s expertise brings clarity and confidence to their own IT decision-making.
The event kicked off Sunday with our Rick Houlihan, VP, Cloud Solutions, speaking about moving a phone system to the cloud with little business interruption. On Tuesday, our Ed Wadbrook, VP, Clouds Solutions Enablement, spoke about business strategies driving digital transformation in public clouds.
