The Future of Voice Agents: A Fireside Chat

Join Deepgram for an evening of insightful conversation and new connections with London's Voice AI community. We're bringing together founders, developers, AI builders, customers and technology leaders to explore what's next in real-time Voice AI and intelligent voice agents. Whether you're building the next big thing, experimenting with voice, or simply curious about where the technology is heading, we'd love to have you there. We'll kick things off with an informal fireside chat featuring some people building on the precipice of Voice AI, followed by drinks, canapés and plenty of time to meet others shaping the future of the industry. Our Speakers Theresa Foy - Technical Product Lead for Voice Agents at Deepgram. Theresa is Head of Product for Deepgram's Voice Agent platform & advanced conversational dynamics research. Building real-time conversational AI stack that enables developers to build human-like voice agents. Evelyn Tan - Founding Human Ai Interaction Engineer at Dex. Evelyn is founding engineer at Dex. She designs Dex's conversational behaviour through prompt engineering, context engineering, and LLM evals. What We'll Be Talking About Our speakers will be talking about voice agents and the key areas to consider in evaluating or building them including: Evaluation - What actually makes a voice agent good? Going past WER and transcription accuracy. Latency - Everyone obsesses over it. Where does it really matter in production, and what can you do to improve it? Tooling & Ecosystem - Beyond the core session, what do you need to build around a voice agent: connectivity, evals, observability? Where the Architecture is Heading - Today ~95% of enterprise voice agents run cascaded (STT-LLM-TTS). Speech-to-speech keeps drawing investment - Where does the market go from here?
