Microsoft × SocialHub.AI NRF Lunch Party: From CDP to CIP
January 12, 2026 · New York, USA
About this event
The problem is not algorithms. It is architecture. Customer data remains fragmented across CRM, CDP, loyalty systems, marketing tools, regions, and clouds. Together with Microsoft, SocialHub.AI presents the Customer Intelligence Platform (CIP), an AI-native intelligence layer above CRM, CDP, and Marketing Automation to unify data, interpret intent, and orchestrate actions in real time — with a formal Microsoft × SocialHub.AI partnership signing and product announcement.
