We’re back with a recap of the second day of Shift 2024 – a day filled with product news, purposeful breakouts, and a power workshop led by award-winning photographer, Platon. And if you missed our recap from the first day of Shift, you can check it out here.
Now, let’s take a look at some of the most noteworthy moments of the day.
We pushed what’s possible with the Seismic Enablement CloudTM
Seismic’s Chief Product Officer Krish Mantripragada took to the stage bright and early today to showcase how Seismic’s latest innovations help teams address their most important questions – like “how’s it going?” and “are we ready?” – and do so at scale.
In the last 12 months, Seismic launched 332 features, 144 of which were suggested by customers. Some of the biggest innovations include the general availability of Aura Copilot and Seismic Programs, as well as updates to Seismic Learning, Pages, and a sneak peek of Manager Insights.
Krish also previewed the next phase of Seismic’s AI vision. That preview included Aura Copilot agents that automate everyday tasks autonomously and APIs so that customers can invoke Seismic capabilities from other strategic partner frameworks, such as Microsoft 365 Copilot, Salesforce’s Agentforce, and IBM’s watsonx Orchestrate.

We broke it down in breakout sessions
This year, we offered five distinct breakout tracks for attendees to choose from – Foundational Enablement, Advanced Enablement, Learning and Coaching, Enablement for Financial Services, and Product Innovation.
They were filled with insights like these:
- “Visionary clients are thinking proactively. They know business challenges and come up with solutions before they become a problem. They act as a smoke detector instead of constantly putting out fires.” Dean Perry, Strategic Consulting Director, Seismic
- “This wave of generative AI feels different. I believe that companies and nations will strategically differentiate themselves by their ability to scale and deploy AI. AI has the potential to unlock 16 trillion in value by 2030.” – Biz Dziarmaga, VP, AI Partnerships and Ecosystem, IBM
- “63% of respondents have already begun to implement AI into their learning processes. That’s up from 40% YoY, so it’s rapidly growing. – Zach Kingsak, Sr. Product Marketing Manager, Seismic, citing the Generation Enablement: Driving Strategic Change with the Power of AI report.
- “You don’t get to walk in and claim your seat. You have to prove your value – and you have to do it over and over again.” – Micah Jacobson, Sr. Director, Revenue Enablement at Informatica
- “We are finding that more and more teams are using it [generative AI] without any friction, without any pushback.” – Khari Bankston, Sr. Manager, Sales Enablement, Alteryx
- “Having advocates is powerful for enacting change and getting people on-board.” – Deon Pillay, Head of Marketing, Enablement, and Governance, LGIM
We found power and perspective with Platon
Platon has produced stunning portraits for more world leaders than anyone in history, including Barack Obama, Muhammed Ali, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and more. He took to the stage to speak truth to power for our audience.
It’s safe to say the attendees left inspired, entertained, and moved to be more curious, more compassionate, and more human.
Let’s do it again tomorrow!
Come back tomorrow for a recap of our final day of Shift 2024. It promises to be packed with exciting ways to push what’s possible – a keynote about predictable success, even more insightful breakout sessions, and a party of Seismic proportions.
