Umee Technologies at the Forefront of AI Adoption Conference 2026

Umee Technologies, known for transforming organizations through its innovative solution, Front Agent, is set to make a significant contribution to an upcoming online conference hosted by Bizibl Technologies. Scheduled from January 19 to January 23, 2026, the event themed "The Risks of Using AI vs. The Risks of Not Using AI" will delve into the implications of AI technology on B2B marketing strategies.

Keynote Presentation by Tatsuya Takada

Umee's Chief Marketing Officer, Tatsuya Takada, will present insights under the title, "Customer Resolution Is the Essence of Marketing: Achieving 'Insight Discovery' to 'Hypothesis Validation' Using Big Deal Data and AI." He will emphasize that the raw voices of the field are often trapped within the black box of business negotiation data. Instead of seeking absolute solutions from AI, businesses should extract hypotheses from data that can be examined and confirmed by human judgment, revealing practical knowledge about how to increase customer resolution through non-generative AI utilization.

The Background of the Conference: Understanding AI's Invisible Risks

In the era of generative AI, many companies are evaluating its integration for enhanced operational efficiency and improved marketing precision. However, actual workplace scenarios frequently spotlight various concerns such as security risks, copyright issues, difficulties with internal coordination, and ambiguity regarding accountability—all of which contribute to a hesitance to adopt these technologies. Meanwhile, competitors leveraging AI have begun to expedite content creation, automate sales processes, and dramatically improve customer experiences. The real worry for B2B firms isn’t short-term disruptions from AI implementation, but rather the potential loss of competitive edge that comes from opting out of AI adoption entirely.

The conference will feature 14 industry experts who will provide diverse perspectives on AI utilization from legal and compliance viewpoints to strategies involving SEO, inside sales, and CRM. This five-day event promises to offer marketing leaders and professionals the necessary resources and actionable roadmaps to facilitate organizational transformation.

Exploring Customer Insights Through Big Data and AI

Umee emphasizes the need for organizations to recognize that traditional marketing research methods and CRM/SFA systems often leave customer needs obscured. The conference will showcase methods for extracting invaluable customer insights from business conversation data that previously remained hidden.

Data-Driven Hypotesis Extraction

Instead of seeking correct answers from generative AI, businesses should focus on using these tools to extract hypotheses. The primary purpose of AI in marketing should be to aid human decision-making processes.

Practical Knowledge on Non-Generative AI Utilization

The session will also highlight practical methodologies for implementing non-generative AI. It will discuss techniques for identifying deep customer insights and executing a seamless process from insight discovery to hypothesis validation. Participants will learn how to leverage conversation data from negotiations to significantly enhance marketing strategies—an approach that traditional research techniques fail to achieve.
