TELUS Digital's presence at Hotel Zetta, a short walk from the Moscone Center, runs September 15-16, the first two days of the three-day conference and will bring together Salesforce practitioners, industry leaders and enterprise decision-makers for industry-specific insight exchange sessions, hands-on demo stations, private keynote livestream viewing and a full slate of invitation-only networking events.

"That's exactly what we built our Dreamforce presence around this year. Instead of a single booth on the show floor, we wanted a space where attendees can sit down with the people who've actually done this deployment work, in banking, higher ed, manufacturing and the contact center, and get straight answers about what it takes." * TELUS Digital is a recognized Salesforce Agentforce Summit Level Partner, with more than 40 Agentforce-powered AI agents activated for clients across industries to date * A Gartner survey published February 2026 found 91% of customer service and support leaders feel pressure to implement AI in 2026 - a theme TELUS Digital's contact center session at Dreamforce directly addresses * TELUS Digital's three industry insight sessions cover financial services, contact center/customer experience and higher education, led by practitioners including Julia Taylor, Abby Spahich, Brendan Nolan and Steve Stevens * Hourly demo stations at Hotel Zetta's S&R Lounge cover Agentforce, Revenue Cloud, MuleSoft, Contentful, field service, education and manufacturing use cases * TELUS Digital operates across 35+ countries with more than 80,000 team members serving over 600 global brands, training, building, running and protecting AI across key business functions including customer service, marketing and product development Meet TELUS Digital at Dreamforce Attendees who visit TELUS Digital at Hotel Zetta on September 15-16 can attend industry insight sessions, explore hands-on Agentforce demos, watch private Dreamforce keynote livestreams, join invitation-only networking events including happy hours and a concert pre-party, and schedule one-on-one meetings with TELUS Digital's Salesforce practice leaders.

S&P drops TELUS from Canadian Dividend Aristocrats Index after dividend slashed 55%. TELUS Corp. (TSX: T) has been stripped of its dividend aristocrat status. S&P Dow Jones Indices said the telecom will be removed from the S&P/TSX Canadian Dividend Aristocrats Index before the open on Sept. 1, a change that surfaced through the index provider's routine monthly dividend review. The announcement named no replacement. The reason is straightforward. Membership requires a company to raise its regular cash dividend every year for at least five consecutive years. TELUS did the opposite, resetting its quarterly payout to 18.75 cents a share from 41.84 cents, a cut of roughly 55 per cent, effective Oct. 1. One reduction is enough to end a streak, regardless of how long it ran. Sponsored · Altamira Gold Corp. The removal is more than symbolic. Index membership pulls in passive money, most visibly through the iShares S&P/TSX Canadian Dividend Aristocrats Index ETF, and funds tracking the benchmark have to sell what the index drops. TELUS also terminated the discount on its dividend reinvestment plan as of the same date, closing another avenue for shareholders to add stock on favourable terms. Management framed the cut as a balance sheet decision rather than a distress signal. The company expects the reset to preserve about $2.7 billion in cash through 2028, earmarked for paying down debt. Net debt stood at 3.5 times adjusted EBITDA at quarter-end, against a target of 3.0 times or lower by the end of 2028, which is a goal that was already pushed out by a year. Second quarter results underlined the pressure. Revenue fell 3 per cent to $4.9 billion, adjusted EBITDA slipped 2 per cent, and the company booked a $1.8-billion net loss driven by a $2.1-billion non-cash writedown at TELUS Digital. Full-year free cash flow guidance was trimmed to roughly $1.8 billion from $2.45 billion, with competitive pricing and slower population growth cited among the culprits. Telus last traded at $13.58 on the TSX. Information for this briefing was found via the sources and the companies mentioned. The author has no securities or affiliations related to this organization.
