Tealium powers the new era of real-time customer engagement and marketing, enabling global businesses to unlock their customer data and create more meaningful, relevant customer experiences. The company’s industry-leading customer data platform, comprised of an enterprise tag management solution, omnichannel customer segmentation and action engine, and suite of rich data services, creates a vendor-neutral data foundation that spans web, mobile, offline and IoT.

Contact centers are under pressure: customers expect fast, personalized help, agents are stuck switching between systems, and marketers often can’t see (or use) what happens during these interactions. At the same time, AI and automation are rapidly reshaping how service is delivered.

In this fireside chat, leaders from Amazon, Tealium, and Slalom will share how brands can use unified first-party data to modernize the contact center and deliver exceptional customer experiences while improving efficiency and reducing operational costs.

We’ll explore:
- The biggest challenges contact centers face today – long handle times, fragmented data, and inconsistent experiences across channels

- How to combine Tealium’s real-time customer data with Amazon Connect to power smarter routing, agent assist, and AI agents

- Ways to use a company’s first-party data and contact center signals together (e.g., click-to-call for high-intent visitors, deflecting low-value calls, and feeding call outcomes back into your customer data model) to better serve customers

- Practical implementation patterns from Slalom – how to design the architecture, implement the right solution, and operationalize it across CX, marketing, and data teams to deliver value to your company and your customers

- How to start small, scale responsibly, and ensure CDP- and Connect-powered experiences translate into real improvements in agent efficiency, customer satisfaction, and operational performance.

This session is ideal for CX and contact center leaders, marketing and digital teams, and data/IT stakeholders who want to turn their contact center into a connected, AI-ready engagement channel.

How Amazon, Tealium, and Slalom Activate First-Party Data to Power the Modern Contact Center

In today’s data-driven world, every decision, customer interaction, and innovation depends on how effectively you harness your data.

But too often, data lives in silos — disconnected, incomplete, and underutilized.

It’s time to turn that challenge into your competitive advantage.

Tealium has been recognised as a “One to Watch” in Snowflake’s 2026 Modern Marketing Data Stack Report. Don’t miss your opportunity to see how these platforms work together to transform your data into actionable insights.

Tealium + Snowflake: Better Together

Many teams want real-time mobile data — without adding another SDK to maintain. In this session, Christina Shell, Senior Solutions Consultant, shows how Tealium enables you to capture and activate mobile data using secure APIs, backend routing, or your cloud data warehouse — all without embedding SDKs.

You’ll learn how to:

- Stream mobile events directly to Tealium’s EventStream using our Collect HTTP API

- Route data through your own backend for validation, enrichment, or rate limiting

- Leverage Snowflake, Databricks, or BigQuery for governed enrichment and activation

- Balance sub-second activation speed with engineering control and compliance

Whether you’re an engineer, architect, or marketing leader, you’ll see how Tealium’s composable architecture delivers real-time engagement without sacrificing performance, governance, or agility.

Real-time Mobile Data Collection Beyond the SDK

Collecting mobile app data doesn’t have to mean embedding yet another SDK. In this 15-minute session, we’ll show how Tealium enables teams to capture rich, real-time mobile data — without the added SDK weight or latency risk.
You’ll see how Tealium’s architecture gives you the flexibility to:
Stream mobile data directly from your app to your data cloud — no SDK required


Reduce app size and release cycle dependencies


Maintain governance and control while staying agile across development teams


Scale effortlessly across platforms and environments
Whether you’re an engineer optimizing app performance or a marketer seeking faster activation, you’ll see how Tealium’s lightweight, composable architecture simplifies mobile data collection — without compromise.
Who should attend:
Mobile developers, data engineers, and digital teams seeking more flexible and efficient approaches to in-app data collection.
