New York, New York, April 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Kaltura (Nasdaq: KLTR), the Agentic Digital Experience company, today announced the speaker lineup for the company's annual Kaltura Connect on the Road conference, coming to New York (May 12th), San Francisco (May 14th), and London (May 19th). The events will focus on "Breaking the Fourth Wall" and the structural shift from same-for-all text-dominated digital experiences for customers and employees, to hyper-personalized, rich-media-infused experiences that harness AI-based rich media generation, conversational rich-media and avatar agents, and content and user intelligence and journey orchestration tools. These experiences cost-effectively boost employee retention, knowledge, and productivity, and boost customer acquisition, success, loyalty, and lifetime value.
"For too long, organizations have been talking at their audiences rather than having conversations with them," said Nohar Zmora, SVP Head of Marketing at Kaltura. "Enterprises monologuing at their customers, partners and employees does not lead to meaningful and impactful interactions. The opportunity today is to break the fourth wall and create such meaningful and impactful interactions through agentic AI-based rich, hyper-personalized and contextualized converations. We are excited to share this vision at Kaltura Connect this year."
During the conference, agentic avatars are set to operate as first-class participants. They will appear alongside speakers, respond to live questions, and guide attendees through sessions as conversational partners.
